And the expiation for wearing, applying perfume, and covering the head is dropped due to forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author said: "And the expiation for the head, perfume, and covering the head is dropped due to forgetfulness, unlike intercourse, hunting, clipping, and shaving" The prohibitions are divided, with regard to their being dropped due to an excuse, into two categories: a category whose expiation is dropped due to an excuse, and a category whose expiation is not dropped. The author says that it is dropped due to forgetfulness, and likewise ignorance and compulsion. The expiation for wearing means that if a person forgets and wears a garment while in the state of ihram, he owes nothing. However, when he remembers, he must remove it and wear the izar and the rida. Likewise, if he applies perfume while in the state of ihram and forgets, he owes nothing. However, when he remembers, he must wash it off and hasten to wash it. In this case, that is, while he is washing it off, he owes nothing, even though he will be touching it, because this touching is to get rid of it, not to keep it on. Pay attention. Moving something to get rid of it is not considered haram. Did you see if a person usurps a piece of land and lives in it, bringing his furniture, cars, and children to live there, and then a man comes and admonishes him, saying: "In the name of Allah, we have walked for a period of time on this land"? Is he held accountable for it? No, because he only moved to get rid of it. But if he stood up from his place and walked around the land, would he sin by doing so? Yes, because he did not try to get rid of it. Also, a man cleans himself with water and touches the impurity with his hand, and he does not sin for this. Why? Because he is only doing it to get rid of it. So, the perfume that the person in ihram washes off if he applied it while forgetting and then remembers: we say, wash the perfume. He says, how do I wash it? Does that mean I will be touching the perfume? We say, yes, you touch the perfume, but to get rid of it. As for covering the head, we said he must remove it, but we previously mentioned a problem with this. What is it? That if he tries to remove it, he covers his head. Some scholars said: he should widen the pocket slightly and pull it down from the bottom. We said previously that the correct view is that it is not obligatory, and that this covering is transient to get rid of this garment. "And covering the head" The expiation for covering the head is dropped due to forgetfulness. If he covers his head while in the state of ihram and forgets, he owes nothing. However, when he remembers, he must uncover it. Is sleep like this? If a person covers his head while sleeping, does he owe an expiation? No, because the pen is lifted from him. However, when he wakes up, he must uncover it. What is the evidence for the dropping of these things due to forgetfulness, ignorance, and compulsion? The evidence is His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] So Allah said: You have done it. And His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ahzab 33:5] And His saying, the Exalted: [An-Nahl 16:106] So if disbelief, when it is compelled, has its consequence dropped, then what is less than it is all the more so. So these are verses from the Qur'an. As for the Sunnah, the famous hadith is: Sunan Ibn Majah 2043Sahih (Darussalam) This is from the side of evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. The reasoning is that this person did not intend to violate the ruling, so he is not considered a sinner. And if he is not a sinner, then sin and expiation do not follow. Is that clear, everyone? So the evidences are: Qur'an, Sunnah, and reasoning, which is called theoretical evidence.
