perform the hajj and the minor pilgrimage for the sake of god. if you are prevented from doing so then make whatever offering you can afford and do not shave your heads until the offering has reached the place of sacrifice. but if any of you is ill or has an ailment of the head he should compensate by fasting or almsgiving or sacrifice. in times of peace if any of you combines the minor pilgrimage with the hajj he should make whatever offering he can afford but if he lacks the means then let him fast three days during the pilgrimage and for seven days after his return that is ten days in all. that is incumbent upon anyone whose family does not live near the sacred mosque. fear god and know that god is severe in punishment.
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
