The fidyah for shaving part of the head due to harm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if he shaves a small part of his head because of a wound he suffered, does he owe a fidyah?
Answer:
Yes, he owes a fidyah. It is permissible for him to shave because of the harm he suffered, and he owes a fidyah. This is because Ka'b ibn Ujr was granted permission by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to shave his head, and the Prophet obligated him to pay the fidyah, even though he was in need of shaving. So whoever is sick or has harm in his head, his fidyah is from fasting, charity, or sacrifice. Yes.
