Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the expiation for shaving the head for the one in ihram based on a specific order, or is there a choice? And do the other prohibited acts have the same expiation?

The Shaykh:
Have you heard the discussion on this that it is based on choice and not on a specific order? That it is a choice
a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrificeفَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
that it is based on choice and not on a specific order, so if he fasts, that is sufficient; if he feeds, that is sufficient; if he slaughters, that is sufficient. Whichever one he does is sufficient. The verse is general, and the hadith detailed it and clarified it. The expiation is from fasting. How much is the fasting? The Messenger clarified that it is three days.
a ransom of fasting [three days] or charityفَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
The Qur'an is more general and did not specify, but the Messenger clarified that it is feeding six poor people, half a sa' for each poor person, or a sacrifice. The sacrifice is known to be the slaughtered animal. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says:

The Shaykh:
Or a sacrifice is also general, because it includes the camel and the cow. The Messenger clarified, saying: "Slaughter a sheep," meaning he takes a sheep, or one-seventh of a hump-backed camel, or one-seventh of a cow. Yes.
