The Holy Quran 2:196 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلْحَجَّ وَٱلْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۖ وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا۟ رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ ٱلْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُۥ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِۦٓ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِۦ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمْ فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِٱلْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى ٱلْحَجِّ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۚ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَـٰثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ ۗ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُۥ حَاضِرِى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

Translation

Complete the Hajj and Umrah for (the pleasure of) Allaah. If you are prevented (from doing so after entering into Ihraam), then (arrange to slaughter) whatever animal is convenient (easy) for you (from those animals that are permissible to slaughter). And do not shave your heads (to come out of Ihraam) until the animal (to be slaughtered) has reached its place (where it has to be slaughtered). Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment (injury, disease, etc) on the head, his Fidya shall be fasting (for three days) or charity or slaughtering an animal. (However) Once you are in safety (and are able to perform Hajj or Umrah without fear), then whoever has the benefit (the good fortune) of performing Umrah with Hajj (in one journey) should slaughter whatever animal is convenient (as a form of thanksgiving after completing the Hajj). Whoever cannot find (or cannot afford) such an animal should fast for three days during the (days of) Hajj (before the 10th of Dhul Hijjah) and seven (days) after returning home. This completes ten (days of fasting in total). This (privilege of performing Umrah with Hajj) is for the person whose family is not present in the Masjidul Haraam (for a non-resident of Makkah). Fear Allaah and know that verily Allaah is severe in punishment.
