What is the ruling on one who covers his head while in the state of ihram, being ignorant?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A child seven years old entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah and placed the ihram covering on his head. We told him not to do so. What is the ruling?

Answer:
He owes nothing, as long as he is a child and ignorant. When they told him, he removed the covering from his head, so he owes nothing. Even an adult, if he covers his head while ignorant or forgetful, and then removes it when it is explained to him, he owes nothing.
