just as he forbade a man in ihram to wear a shirt or leather socks, even though he may cover his hands and feet by agreement of the imams. The burqa is even more concealing than the niqab, so they unanimously prohibit it. Thus, a woman in ihram must not wear anything made specifically to cover the face, such as a burqa or the like, since it is equivalent to the niqab.
A person in ihram may not wear anything the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—forbade except when there is a need, just as a fasting person may not break his fast except when there is a need. Such a need includes cold that he fears will make him ill if he does not cover his head, or an illness requiring him to cover his head. He may then wear only what he needs, removing it when he no longer needs it.
He must offer compensation: either fasting three days, sacrificing a sheep, or feeding six needy people, giving each half a sāʿ of dates or barley, or one mudd of wheat. Giving bread is also permissible: two Iraqi ratls, approximately half a Damascene ratl, for each person. It should be served with an accompaniment. Feeding him foods such as rusks, thin flatbread, and the like is permissible and is better than giving him wheat or barley. The same applies to all other expiations: providing someone with staple food together with an accompaniment is better than giving him grain alone, if it is not their custom to grind grain and bake bread themselves.
In all these cases, the obligation is what Allah Most High mentions in His words:
“Feeding ten needy people with food of the average standard you feed your own families
