IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-109: MELANGGAR LARANGAN IHRAM KERANA TERLUPA: ADAKAH DIKENAKAN FIDYAH?
Is a pilgrim liable for a fidyah if he violates an ihram prohibition by forgetting?
Short answer
For prohibitions involving destruction (itlaf), such as removing hair, cutting nails or killing game animals, the fidyah remains obligatory even if the person forgot, was unaware or acted unintentionally, though he incurs no sin.

Summary
For prohibitions involving destruction (itlaf), such as removing hair, cutting nails or killing game animals, the fidyah remains obligatory even if the person forgot, was unaware or acted unintentionally, though he incurs no sin. For prohibitions involving enjoyment (taraffuh), such as wearing perfume or sewn clothing, a person who forgot or was ignorant incurs no sin and owes no fidyah. The fidyah options are slaughtering a goat in the Haram land, giving food to six poor people, or fasting for three days.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sementara itu, melanggar larangan ihram yang melibatkan perkara keseronokan (taraffuh) seperti memakai wangian dan pakaian berjahit dalam keadaan terlupa atau jahil, maka perbuatan tersebut tidak berdosa dan tidak dikenakan fidyah.
