25. Fidyah (Ransom)

If a  pilgrim fails to come complete his hajj aur umrah after entering ihram or commits an act which is prohibited in the state of a ihram, then a ransom is due from him. Allah 
Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala States:



Faman- kana minkum marizan 'aw bihiti 'azam,- mir- ra'-sihii fa- fidayatum- min-siysamin 'aw sadaqatin 'aw nusuk.


"And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary] must offer a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice [i.e. the slaughter of a sheep]."


And Ka'b bin Ujrah reported"
"During the state of  ihram on my Umrah  journey i had much trouble due to lice on my head. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  told me to shave and either sacrifice a sheep or fast for three days or feed six poor people."


There is no ransom for committing sexual intercourse in the state of ihram. In such a case, the hajj is nullified and must be repeated if it is obligatory hajj. In addition, the offender much sacrifice and animal. 


Also there is no ransom for acts of disobedience [numbers 2 and 3] except sincere repentance to Allah for the sins committed. The Hajj in this case remains valid.
