· 7 Rabiʻ II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Once when it was windy, the Ihram cloth blew on my face for a couple of seconds. My wife was wearing a cap, but her scarf also blew on her face 2/3 times for a few seconds and she pushed it back. Do we need to give penalty?

Answer

There will be no penalty in this case .
