Question:
A woman performed 'Umrah after entering the state of ihram, but she did not remove the niqab during the 'Umrah because she forgot. Does she owe anything?
Answer:
If she was unaware, she owes nothing. However, if she remembered, or if she became aware and the niqab and burqu' remained on her after she knew, she owes a fidyah. She owes a fidyah, either by slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor, or by feeding six poor people from the poor of the Haram, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or by fasting three days, at her choice. Yes.
