Covering the head of a baby during umrah
Question
Does a 7 month old baby girl have to cover her head while doing umrah? If yes, is a cap fine? As a scarf wont be easy for her.
Answer
It is not necessary to cover the head of the child during umrah. These laws do not apply to an infant child.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
