The ruling on a woman who wears the niqab and khuffayn during 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I performed 'Umrah with my mother and my maternal aunt, and they were wearing the niqab and the khuffayn and the jilbab. The question is: Is their 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
Their 'Umrah is valid. However, if they did so intentionally by wearing the khuffayn and the niqab, then they owe a kaffarah, each of them owes a kaffarah, which is feeding six poor people or sacrificing a sheep in Makkah, feeding six poor people in Makkah or sacrificing a sheep in Makkah to be distributed to the poor, or fasting for three days; there is a choice between these matters. As for if they were ignorant and did not realize it until after the 'Umrah was finished, and during the 'Umrah they did not know the ruling, then they owe nothing; they are excused from the kaffarah. Yes.
