Chapter on the permissibility of shaving the head for the one in ihram if he is afflicted with a harm, and the obligation of the fidyah for shaving it, and the explanation of its amount

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : that he shave his head, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter ولا تحلقوا رءوسكم حتى يبلغ الهدي محله
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
.
Except if he is afflicted with a harm, or if he is sick and needs to shave the hair, then it is permissible for him to do so, based on His saying the Exalted:
And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice فمن كان منكم مريضًا أو به أذى من رأسه ففدية من صيام أو صدقة أو نسك
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
.
So if he needs to shave his head due to a harm or illness, he has that right.
