Is the fidyah obligatory for a person in ihram if he covers his head with a blanket while sleeping?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The student Kamil al-Jazairi says: We often see during Hajj, and sometimes during 'Umrah, people in ihram who have covered their heads while sleeping with blankets or the like. Is the fidyah obligatory upon them? And is it obligatory upon us, if we see them doing so, to remove the covering from their heads? And what if the answer is that the weather is cold, for example, due to air conditioning?

The Shaykh : As for them, there is no fidyah upon them because they did not do it intentionally. As for you, it is a matter of advice that you should alert them.

The questioner : Before he sleeps, for example, he covers himself.

The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible. Before he sleeps, if he covers himself before sleeping, then he has intentionally covered his head, and thus he has committed a sin. Yes?

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that it is obligatory upon him. The rule applies.

The questioner : We must

The Shaykh : alert them. Yes.
