Purdah touches one's face while in ihraam

Q: I am going for umrah next week insha-Allah. How much sadaqah do I have to give if the purdah touches my face? Is it okay to wear the normal purdah and later give sadaqah or does one have to wear the cap purdah?

A: If it touches for a moment due some movement then there is no sadaqah. The niqaab should not be touching the face, whether it is worn with the cap or in any other way.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
