Question:
Thanks to the brothers in Jeddah and to those who attended last year.
Answer:
It is not permissible to cover one's head with a blanket, but it is fine for him to stay overnight under a tent; there is no harm in entering under a tent. However, if he places something directly against his head and covers it with it, that is not permissible. If he needs to do so and fears harm, he should cover it and pay the expiation, just as if he needed to shave, he would shave his head and pay the expiation, as mentioned in the Qur'an:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] was [Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Yes.

And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in penalty.
مِنكُمwhoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice
مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍThe presenter:
