The Ruling on the Validity of 'Umrah While Wearing the Niqab and Gloves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I performed 'Umrah with my mother and my maternal aunt, and they were wearing the niqab, gloves, and socks. The question is: Is their 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
Their 'Umrah is valid. However, if the women intentionally wore the gloves and the niqab, then they owe a fidyah (ransom payment) each. The fidyah is feeding six poor people or slaughtering a sheep in Makkah—feeding six poor people in Makkah or slaughtering a sheep in Makkah to be distributed to the poor—or fasting for three days. They are given the choice among these options. As for if they were ignorant and did not realize it until after the 'Umrah was finished, or if they did not know the ruling during the 'Umrah, then they owe nothing; they are excused due to ignorance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
