What is the ruling on a woman performing 'Umrah if she wears the niqab and gloves while in a state of forgetfulness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat, performed the tawaf and sa'y, and before she shortened her hair, she realized that she had forgotten and was wearing the burqu' and gloves. She removed them and performed the tawaf and sa'y again. Does she have any obligation regarding this?

Answer:
The first tawaf and the first sa'y are sufficient, and there is nothing required of her for wearing the burqu' and niqab while in a state of forgetfulness. Even if she had done it intentionally, her tawaf and sa'y would be valid, but if she was intentional, she would owe a fidyah. However, if she was in a state of forgetfulness, she owes nothing, and praise be to Allah, and she does not repeat the tawaf and sa'y.
