The ruling on the 'Umrah of a woman in ihram if she wears the niqab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a woman in ihram wears the niqab, is her 'Umrah or Hajj valid?
Answer:
Yes, it is valid, but she must pay a fidyah (ransom payment) unless she was ignorant or forgetful. In that case, she should remove it and hasten to remove it, and she owes nothing. However, if she did it intentionally, she must pay a fidyah.
