Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, during the past Hajj I slept in a bed that was in the shape of a bag while I was in ihram, knowing that I was unaware of the ruling, and I put my head in because of the intense cold, so what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
If you have a bed with a zipper that you close over yourself, this is not permissible for the one in ihram; he should keep it open and wrap himself in it while it is open, and he should not enter it as if it were a garment; this is not permissible for the one in ihram. But since you were ignorant or forgetful, you owe nothing. If you covered your head intentionally, you owe the fidyah (ransom payment). If you covered it while forgetful or sleeping, you owe nothing. But when you become aware, you uncover your head when you become aware or are reminded; you uncover your head and you owe nothing as long as you were forgetful. I am[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. As for this bed that has appeared now, where a person enters it and closes it over himself and ends up inside a bag, this is not permissible for the one in ihram because it is sewn. Yes.

do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred
