What is the ruling on a person in ihram covering his entire body while sleeping?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person wants to sleep and covers his entire body with a blanket, including his head, is that permissible?

Answer:
He should delay removing it from his head if he forgets; he delays it and owes nothing, or if he was ignorant and then learns that covering his head is not permissible, he removes it and owes nothing. He is excused for forgetting and for ignorance. If he needs the covering because of cold and needs to cover his head, he covers it and owes the fidyah (ransom payment). It becomes like shaving the head out of necessity; he covers it and owes the fidyah. Yes.
