What is the ruling on a woman in ihram wearing the niqab?

Question:
A woman began the first lap of tawaf while wearing a headscarf, forgetting that she was in ihram. Then she repeated the first lap without the headscarf, and she was wearing a headscarf during sa'y. Does she owe anything for her 'Umrah?

Answer:
The discussion concerns sa'y and tawaf, and the discussion concerns ihram. A woman in ihram, from the miqat, if she enters ihram, she does not wear the niqab, and she does not wear the burqu', she covers her face with a shaylah or a garment, and she does not cover it with the niqab, nor with the part of the burqu' or niqab that is sewn for the face; she covers it with something else, for the sake of ihram, or for the sake of tawaf and sa'y only. Yes, but if she forgot or was ignorant and wore the niqab while in ihram, there is no blame on her, except if she remembers or is reminded, in which case she removes it and she owes nothing.
