Question:
A man in Muzdalifah covered his head with a blanket because of the cold. Does he owe anything? He was uncertain about the ruling.
Answer:
Yes, if he covered his head intentionally, he owes the fidyah (ransom payment). He has a choice between three options: fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people in Makkah, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor of the Haram. He has a choice between these three. Fasting is permissible anywhere, but the feeding and the fidyah must be in Makkah; it must be in Makkah. Yes.
