If a woman who does not cover her head goes to Makkah to perform umrah and if she does not cover her head after umrah, will she be held responsible for it?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

The places of deeds are separate. If a person commits a sin, it does not prevent his worship. He can do any deeds of worship and gets thawab for them.

A woman who does not cover her head can go to hajj or umrah, can perform prayers and fasting; she will receive thawabs for them. The sin of not covering her head is dealt with separately. It is hoped that the prayers that are performed and the deeds of worship that are done will eliminate the other mistakes of a person and cause her to cover her head. 

It is very wrong act to drive people away from worshipping with such meaningless and useless words. Committing a sin does not prevent a person from worshipping.

It is fard for a woman to cover her head and it is stated in the Quran and hadiths.

A woman’s not covering her head does not prevent her from going to hajj or umrah; if she does not cover her head after returning from hajj or umrah, her worship of hajj or umrah will not be annulled.
