Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: If I performed tawaf wearing the burqa during Hajj, without knowing that they were going to perform tawaf, what is the ruling on my action?
Answer:
The burqa is forbidden for a woman in the state of ihram. She must remove it and cover her face with the khimar. If she deliberately wore the burqa while knowing that it is not permissible for her, she owes an expiation, which is fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep. She has the choice among these options. However, if she did not know, she is not held accountable, and nothing is required of her. Yes.
