Some Head Diseases According to TCM
But if Any of You is Ill or Has a Scalp Ailment ˹Requiring Shaving˺, Then Compensate Either by Fasting, Charity, or a Sacrificial Offering
وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلْحَجَّ وَٱلْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۖ وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا۟ رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ ٱلْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُۥ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِۦٓ أَذًۭى مِّن رَّأْسِهِۦ فَفِدْيَةٌۭ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍۢ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمْ فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِٱلْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى ٱلْحَجِّ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۚ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَـٰثَةِ أَيَّامٍۢ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ ۗ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌۭ كَامِلَةٌۭ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُۥ حَاضِرِى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ١٩٦
Complete the pilgrimage and minor pilgrimage for Allah.1 But if prevented ˹from proceeding˺, then ˹offer˺ whatever sacrificial animals you can afford. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its destination. But if any of you is ill or has a scalp ailment ˹requiring shaving˺, then compensate either by fasting, charity, or a sacrificial offering. In times of peace, you may combine the pilgrimage and minor pilgrimage then make the sacrificial offering you can afford. Whoever cannot afford that ˹offering˺, let them fast three days during pilgrimage and seven after returning ˹home˺—completing ten. These offerings are for those who do not live near the Sacred House. And be mindful of Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.
وَعَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { حُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي, فَقَالَ: " مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى اَلْوَجَعَ بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا أَرَى, تَجِدُ شَاةً ? قُلْتُ: لَا. قَالَ: " فَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ, أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ, لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ " } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1 .
- رواه البخاري ( 1816 )، ومسلم ( 1201 )، من طريق عبد الله بن معقل قال: جلست إلى كعب بن عجرة رضي الله عنه، فسألته عن الفدية، فقال: نزلت في خاصة، وهي لكم عامة… الحديث. قلت: واللفظ للبخاري.
Ka'b bin 'Ujrah (RAA) narrated, ‘I was carried to the Prophet (ﷺ) and the lice were falling over my face. He said, “I did not know that your disease is hurting you as much as what I see. Can you sacrifice a sheep?” I said, ‘No.’ He then said. “Fast for three days or feed six poor people, half a Sa’ each.” Agreed upon.
