Question:
This is a sister, Honorable Shaykh, who says: I and my sister performed 'Umrah, and my sister was wearing a niqab. What should we do? And is there anything required of us?
Answer:
If she was ignorant and wore the niqab while in the state of ihram, then she owes nothing, because she was ignorant or forgot and wore it, so there is no blame on her[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. But if she deliberately wore the niqab while in the state of ihram, intending to do so while knowing that it is not permissible, then she owes a fidyah, having the choice between one of three things: either fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep. Yes.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
