Saffron in coffee and a woman in ihram covering her face
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Using saffron to drink coffee with coffee.
The Shaykh:
Saffron is good, but it is forbidden to burn it for a person in ihram, yes.
The questioner:
Leave it. Yes. Stay as you are.
The Shaykh:
Leaving it is preferable; it is a type of luxury. If there is no perfume in it, leaving it is preferable, but if there is perfume in it, it is forbidden.
The questioner:
Yes, she covers her face.
The Shaykh:
She covers her face without the niqab. The niqab is a thing made for the face, with two openings for the eyes, made for the face. As for covering it with a khimar or a jilbab, as Aisha said, "When men came near us, one of us would let her jilbab fall over her face, or she said her khimar over her face, and when they went away, we would uncover it."
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. If you performed 'Umrah with your hands, it is as if it were upon you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if she was ignorant or forgot, there is no sin upon her. Yes.
