Anyone who commits a forbidden act in worship out of forgetfulness or ignorance owes nothing
A woman applied perfume and kohl after entering the state of ihram while forgetting; what is the ruling in this case?
She owes nothing, but she should remove the perfume whenever she remembers. As for the kohl, it does no harm. The perfume is forbidden in the state of ihram, whereas kohl is not forbidden in the state of ihram.Then I say to you, O brothers: All the prohibitions in acts of worship, if a person commits them out of forgetfulness, ignorance, or compulsion, he owes nothing. This applies to all acts of worship, whether in prayer, fasting, or Hajj. For example, if a person in Hajj has intercourse with his wife on the night of Muzdalifah, believing that his standing at 'Arafah meant the Hajj was complete, based on a false understanding of the meaning of the authentic hadith: (Hajj is 'Arafah), thinking that he stood at 'Arafah and the Hajj was finished, and he had intercourse with his wife on the night of Muzdalifah, he owes nothing. There is no expiation, no invalidation of the Hajj, and no making up of the Hajj; because he was ignorant. Likewise, we say this regarding all prohibitions. If he kills game while ignorant or forgetful, he owes nothing. In prayer, if he speaks thinking that speaking is permissible, such as if his mother calls him while he is praying, and he thinks that answering his mother is obligatory, even in an obligatory prayer, and he speaks while not believing that it invalidates the prayer, his prayer is valid. In fasting, if he eats thinking that the sun has set, and it turns out that it has not set, his fast is valid.The important thing is to take this rule: Anyone who does a forbidden act in worship out of forgetfulness, ignorance, or compulsion owes nothing, no sin, no making up, and no expiation.because of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [al-Baqarah: 286] So Allah the Exalted said: I have done so.
And by His saying, Exalted is He: [al-Ahzab: 5] ,And by His saying, Exalted is He: [al-Nahl: 106] .

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاAnd by His saying, Exalted is He:
