Question:
My mother entered the state of ihram yesterday from Wadi al-Muharram, and she was wearing the niqab, and she was unaware of it. When she remembered while on the way, she took off the niqab and put on the prescribed hijab, and she completed the 'Umrah. Does she owe anything?
Answer:
No, she owes nothing. The one who forgets and the one who is ignorant owe nothing,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. So if she wore the niqab out of forgetfulness and then removed it when she became aware, she did what was obligatory upon her, and she owes nothing.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
