What is the ruling on one who uses incense while in the state of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman performed 'Umrah, she did the tawaf and sa'y, and before shortening her hair she used incense. What is the ruling?

Answer:
If she was unaware or ignorant, she owes nothing. But if she intentionally smelled the incense, she has to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). She is given the choice: if she wishes, she fasts for three days; if she wishes, she feeds six poor people from among the poor of the Haram; or if she wishes, she slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it among the poor of the Haram.
