'Umrah while wearing the niqab and what is required of the woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Last week I performed 'Umrah with my sister, and she was wearing the niqab. This was my sister's first 'Umrah, and we returned to Riyadh?
Answer:
If she was ignorant or forgetful, she owes nothing. However, if she did it intentionally, she must pay a fidyah (ransom payment), in which she has the choice between fasting for three days, feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep in Makkah. The feeding and the slaughtering must be done in Makkah, but as for the fasting, she may fast anywhere. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
