196. And complete the Hajj or ‘umrah in the service of Allah. But if you are

prevented (from completing it), send an offering for sacrifice, such as you may

find, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice.

And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving), (he

should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; andwhen

youare inpeaceful conditions (again), if anyonewishes to continue the ‘umrahon

days during the Hajj and seven days on his return, making ten days in all. This is

Allah, and know that Allah is strict in punishment
