Ruling on cutting hair out of ignorance while in ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, a pilgrim cut some of his hair out of ignorance and then exited the state of ihram. What is required of him?
Answer:
If he was ignorant, the correct view is that he owes nothing. However, if he pays a fidyah (ransom payment), that is better as a precaution. The fidyah in this case is the fidyah for harm, and he is given the choice between three options: either he slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it to the poor, or he feeds six poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of food, or he fasts for three days. He is given the choice among these. Yes.
