What is the ruling on one who remained with his ihram garment tucked up after the tawaf and did not remember to let it down until after the first rak'ah behind the Maqam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After I finished the tawaf, I did not let the ihram garment hang down over my shoulders; I kept it tucked up. I remembered this after finishing the first rak'ah behind the Maqam, so I covered my shoulders. Is my 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
If Allah wills, covering the shoulders is a recommended practice (sunnah), not an obligation, so your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
