Q: I heard that a woman can't cover her hands and face during Umrah or Hajj. But I am planning on wearing a long khimar (hijab) during Umrah which will be covering my full hands, and this type of khimar is often used for prayer. Can I wear this long khimar for Umrah?

Q: Kindly advise us about ihram purdah. We are leaving for umrah in one days time and really in need of naseehat as some people who are studying deen advise that the sin is great if purdah touches the face, so rather not wear. Whilst another person who frequents haram sharief says that ihraam purdah was only introduced recently by the conserved Indian ulama and yet another apaa says that wear a normal purdah and pay dum.We want to wear the ihraam purdah. What is the dum? And can we please be advised regarding purdah in Haram Sharief whilst in ihraam?
Q: My mother requests a fatwa to show some women regarding the purdah in ihram, explaining:
1. The cloth should not touch the face
2. Purdah has to be observed from ghayr mahrams.
There is a misconception amongst some women who, throughout the year observe purda, اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّه, but due to a certain aalim's wife informing them that purdah is not necessary in ihraam, they discard it during umrah. She also would like to find out from Hazrat that:
3. Is wearing a normal purdah intentionally a major sin?
4. Would this also be the case if out of circumstances, since due to her eyesight, she cannot see with the cap purdah clearly?
5. What would be the penalty if the cap purdah unintentionally touches the face?
