The obligation of one who enters the state of ihram intending Hajj and is then prevented from completing it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He is a national who came to the Kingdom to perform 'Umrah, and he stayed there illegally for two months without a residence permit. After that, he wanted to go for Hajj. On the seventh of Dhul-Hijjah, he entered the state of ihram at Abi 'Ali, intending to perform Hajj. Then, the police festival occurred, and they deported him to his country, Sudan, while he was in the state of ihram and had intended Hajj. Is he required to do anything regarding these matters described in this letter? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good in this world and the Hereafter, for I am confused about my situation.

Answer:
The ruling for one who is prevented (muhasar) from entering is the ruling for one who is prevented. Yes. He has to offer a sacrifice, slaughter a sacrificial animal, shave his head, and take an oath. This is a case of being prevented. If you do well, do not exaggerate. Allah the Exalted says:
But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animalsفَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
, which means that if he is prevented while in the state of ihram, he slaughters a sheep, or a share of a camel, or a share of a cow that he can afford. If he hastens, it becomes ten days, and he shaves his head and exits the state of ihram. This is correct. In whatever place he is, whether in his location or in his own country. Yes.
