Chapter. The statement of Allah: "… And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving), he must pay a Fidya (ransom), of either observing Saum (fasts) (three days), or giving Sadaqa (charity - feeding six poor persons), or offer sacrifice (one sheep)...” (V.2:196)
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Layla: Ka`b bin 'Ujra said that Allah's Apostle said to him (Ka`b), "Perhaps your lice have troubled you?" Ka`b replied, "Yes! O Allah's Apostle." Allah's Apostle said, "Have your head shaved and then either fast three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice."
