The ruling on a woman wearing the burqa in ihram out of ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I and my aunt performed Hajj twelve years ago, and my aunt was wearing the burqa at that time. Do we have any obligation today?

Answer:
If she was ignorant, she owes nothing because of the ignorance. But if she knew and was negligent, you must feed six poor people on her behalf, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or slaughter a sheep on her behalf in a place for the poor. If she was ignorant, she owes nothing.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh
