complete the hajj and umrah in obedience to god. if you are prevented from completing the duty of hajj offer whatever sacrifice is possible and do not shave your heads before the sacrificial animal is delivered to the prescribed place. if one of you is ill or is suffering because of some ailment in your head you must redeem the shaving of the head by fasting or paying money or offering a sheep as a sacrifice. when all is well with you and you want to complete the umrah in the hajj season offer whatever sacrifice is possible. if you do not find an animal you have to fast for three days during the days of the pilgrimage rituals and seven days at home to complete the required ten fasting days. this rule is for those who live beyond the sacred mosque in mecca. have fear of god and know that he is stern in his retribution.
وأتموا الحج والعمرة لله فإن أحصرتم فما استيسر من الهدي ولا تحلقوا رءوسكم حتى يبلغ الهدي محله فمن كان منكم مريضا أو به أذى من رأسه ففدية من صيام أو صدقة أو نسك فإذا أمنتم فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدي فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام في الحج وسبعة إذا رجعتم تلك عشرة كاملة ذلك لمن لم يكن أهله حاضري المسجد الحرام واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله شديد العقاب
