And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving). he must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either observing Saum (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqah (charity - feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep). Then if you are in safety and whosoever performs the ′Umrah in the months of Hajj. before (performing) the Hajj.
