Question:
What is the expiation for biting off a single fingernail unintentionally while performing the 'Umrah?
Answer:
If the person in ihram trimmed something from his nails while forgetting or out of ignorance, he owes nothing. However, if he did it intentionally, he must pay a fidyah (ransom payment) of his choice: he may fast for three days, or feed six poor people in Makkah, or slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor. He has the choice among these options. This applies if he intentionally trimmed his nails, shaved his hair, wore sewn clothing, or used perfume. These matters are excused by forgetting or ignorance, but in the case of intention, the kaffarah (expiation) is required, which is the fidyah. Yes.
