The Ruling on Covering the Head with the Sun in Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The first question: I performed 'Umrah, did the tawaf and sa'y, and the time for the midday prayer came. I went back to pray, but the sun scorched us in the courtyard, so I put my ihram over my head, and I had not yet shortened my hair. Do I owe anything? The matter.
The Shaykh:
Your head.
The questioner:
Yes, I covered my head from the sun, and I had not shortened my hair.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you covered your head while in ihram. Yes, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). You owe a fidyah, and you have the choice of three things: either you slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, or you feed six poor people from the poor of the Haram, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or you fast for three days. Yes.
