Question:
Abu Musa, please, from Khamis Mushait. Hello, yes, peace be upon you. And upon you peace. And upon you peace. Abu Mu'adh, I have four questions, may Allah prolong your life. Please go ahead. My wife performed 'Umrah thirteen years ago, and she was wearing a batwa. After she finished the 'Umrah and before she shortened her hair, she put on the niqab and placed a light covering over the niqab. Is the 'Umrah valid? Okay, the Shaykh will answer.
Answer:
The 'Umrah is valid, but she made a mistake in wearing the niqab. Even if it is under the shayla, it is not permissible to wear the niqab. The woman in ihram should not be criticized, but if she did this out of ignorance, then she owes nothing. Or if she did it while forgetting and then removed it, then she owes nothing. Yes.
