Question:
It is known that covering head in umrah is unlawful , but if a person mistakenly covers his head , then what will he do what he have to pay expiation , please give me referenced with the saying of Salaf on this matter
Answer:
Bismillah
The rule in terms of an expiation being necessary is the same whether one commited the transgression of Ihraam intentionally, unintentionally or accidently.
If someone covered his head for a complete day (12 hours) then a Damm would be obligatory, which consists of the sacrificing of 1/7 of a camel or cow or the complete sacrifcing of a goat or sheep. If one wore it for less than 12 hours then Sadqah Fitr amount would need to be given to the poor. (Hidayah p.267 v.1)
