Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I went out to Makkah to perform 'Umrah, and before I entered Makkah, I was prevented from entering it on the grounds of receiving the pilgrims only at that time, so I removed my ihram and returned to Riyadh. What is required of me? When was this? Last year? Or recently?

Answer:
If it was recent, he must put on the ihram clothes again and go perform the 'Umrah for which he had entered ihram. But if it was last year and a long time has passed, this is treated like the case of one who is prevented (muhasar). He must offer a fidyah (ransom payment) instead of exiting the state of ihram. The fidyah for being prevented is slaughtered in Makkah.
