What is the ruling if a woman in ihram changes her clothes after tawaf and sa'y, before cutting her hair?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My wife performed tawaf and changed her clothes to others before shortening her hair, forgetting to do so. Does she owe anything?

The Shaykh:
his wife.

The questioner:
Yes, he says: My wife performed tawaf and sa'y, then changed her clothes before shortening her hair. Does she owe anything?

The Shaykh:
A woman does not have specific ihram clothes like a man does. She enters ihram in her regular clothes and may change them, provided they do not contradict the rules. However, she must not wear a niqab over her face or gloves on her hands; these are the things she is prohibited from wearing. As for the rest of her clothing, she may wear it, unless it is adornment or a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), in which case she should avoid it.
