The ruling on performing the tawaf of 'Umrah while wearing the niqab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, my wife and I entered the state of ihram from the miqat for 'Umrah. When we began the tawaf, in the third lap, my wife told me that she was still wearing the niqab and had forgotten to take it off. She had nothing with her during the tawaf to wear in place of the niqab, so we completed the tawaf and the sa'y in this state, with her still wearing the niqab. Then she shortened her hair. The question is: what is obligatory for us now, since we are in Riyadh?
Answer:
In any case, since she was ignorant and you were ignorant of the ruling, she owes nothing. However, the fact that she did not find something to cover her face with is incorrect. It must be that she has a jilbab, she has an abaya, she has a khimar on her head, she drapes something of the clothes she is wearing over her face, and she removes the niqab immediately without delaying it. Yes.
