The ruling on covering the head while in ihram to ward off the heat of the sun
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: I performed 'Umrah in Ramadan, and during the tawaf the sun was very hot. After I finished my tawaf, I performed the recommended prayer, and I waited for my companion to finish his tawaf. During that time, I covered my head while in ihram for one minute. Is there anything required of me for that?
Answer:
If you did it intentionally, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) if you covered it intentionally to ward off the heat of the sun. This is covering for a need, so you owe a fidyah, and it is at your option: if you wish, you fast for three days; if you wish, you feed six poor people, giving each poor person as much as you can afford; and if you wish, you slaughter a sheep in Makkah. The slaughter and feeding must be done in Makkah, but as for fasting, you may fast anywhere. If you were forgetful, if you became forgetful, you owe nothing. Yes.
