The ruling on one who performed Hajj but did not enter the state of ihram at the miqat out of fear of the immigration officers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person performed Hajj, but he did not wear the ihram at the miqat, out of fear that the immigration officers would stop him. Is his Hajj valid, and what is required of him?

Answer:
His Hajj is valid, but he committed a prohibited act. The prohibitions of ihram, when done intentionally, require him to offer a sacrifice. He owes a fidyah (ransom payment) for touching the wife. He has the choice between: slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor; or feeding six poor people, each receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), also in the Haram; or fasting for three days in any place. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
