Fidyah for deliberately wearing the niqab while in ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman performed Hajj while wearing the niqab, knowing that a woman in ihram is not to wear it. What is required of her, given that she had heard the prohibition against wearing the niqab but was negligent about it?

Answer:
Yes, she committed one of the prohibitions of ihram deliberately, so she owes the fidyah. She has a choice among three options: either she slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it to the poor, or she feeds six poor people, giving each person half a sa' in Makkah as well, or she fasts for three days in any place. She has a choice among these options. Yes.
