The answer

If you cover your head while in the state of Ihram, you are liable for a Fidyah (expiation): slaughtering a sheep to be distributed among the poor of Mecca, or feeding six needy people in the Haram (each person receiving half a sa' of dates or the staple food of the land), or fasting for three days. This applies to Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah.
