What is the ruling on one who performed tawaf inside the Black Stone while ignorant?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh is asked: What is the ruling on one who performed tawaf from inside the Black Stone during 'Umrah while ignorant?

The Shaykh : One who performs tawaf from inside the Black Stone, his tawaf is not valid, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
perform Tawaf around the ancient House." وليطوفوا بالبيت العتيق
[Al-Hajj 22:29]
. The preposition "ba" here indicates comprehensiveness. And one who enters inside the Black Stone has not comprehended the place of tawaf. Accordingly, his tawaf is not valid. Accordingly, the questioner should clarify to me what happened to him afterwards. Is the questioner present?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Where is the questioner? Raise your hand. What happened to you?

The questioner : Another person.

The Shaykh : A person, or you? Hmm.

The questioner : A relative of mine.

The Shaykh : Yes, and what happened to him? Was it tawaf for 'Umrah or tawaf for Hajj?

The questioner : Tawaf for Hajj.

The Shaykh : And he is a pilgrim performing tamattu', is he not?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes. His tawaf is not valid. And if he is present now and has not performed 'Umrah in a valid manner, he must now take off his clothes and put on the clothes of ihram, and not approach his wife or any of the prohibitions of ihram. Let him go to Makkah and perform tawaf and sa'y and shorten his hair. Inform him of this now.

The questioner : His son is with him.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : His son is with him.

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : His son is with him.

The Shaykh : And his son is with him. Inform him now. May Allah reward you with good. Hmm.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Go to him or call him on the phone.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, he is not in a state of ihram. He is currently in a state of ihram. May Allah bless you. He is currently in a state of ihram because he has not completed 'Umrah. 'Umrah consists of tawaf, sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair. This man did not perform tawaf, and if his tawaf is not valid, his sa'y is not valid. The important thing is to inform him now before the sun rises, if possible. Tell him that he is currently in a state of ihram and must not approach his wife or any of the prohibitions of ihram. And he must take off his clothes and put on the clothes of ihram and walk to Makkah. Yes.

The questioner : The tawaf.

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Does he start with tawaf?

The Shaykh : He starts with tawaf, then sa'y, then shaving or shortening the hair. You must do this; the responsibility is on you, and I place it upon you. You must inform him immediately. Yes.
