What is the ruling on one who covers his head while in the state of ihram, forgetting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A person performed the tawaf and sa'y, and before shaving his hair, he covered his head while forgetting. What is the ruling on his 'Umrah?

Answer:
If he covered his head while forgetting, he owes nothing, but on the condition that when he remembers, he removes the covering. If he remembers or is reminded of it, he should hasten to remove the covering, and his 'Umrah is valid. His saying, the Exalted:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Forgiveness is granted
for my community for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced to doلأمتي عن الخطأ والنسيان وما استكرهوا عليه
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 23:30
