The Ruling on Shaving a Bald Head and the Expiation for the Prohibitions of Ihram

Question:
If a person is bald and wants to shave, is it sufficient to move the razor over his head, or what should he do? And if two of the prohibitions of ihram are committed by him, is one expiation sufficient, or does each prohibition have its own expiation?

Answer:
As for the case where there is no hair on his head, the scholars have stated that he should pass the razor over his head in compliance with the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and in accordance with His saying: He should pass the razor over his head, because this is the limit of his ability. The questioner continues by asking: If he commits, or if two of the prohibitions of ihram are committed by him, each prohibition has its own expiation; each prohibition has its own expiation, and one expiation is not sufficient for them, unless he repeats a prohibition of the same type. If he repeats a prohibition of the same type, such as applying perfume several times, one expiation is sufficient for him if he repeats a prohibition of the same type. However, if he repeats prohibitions of different types, each prohibition has an independent expiation. For example, if he applies perfume, cuts his hair, cuts his nails, and wears sewn clothing, each one requires an expiation; he has many expiations to pay.
