196. Complete (the rituals of) pilgrimage (Hajj) and minor pilgrimage (‘Umra) for Allah’s sake. However, if you are prevented (on the way), then (make) such sacrificial offering as is feasible. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its destination. If any of you is sick or suffers from an ailment of the head, he must pay a ransom either by fasting, alms-giving, or offering a sacrifice. And when you are safe, those who want to enjoy combining the minor pilgrimage (‘Umra) with the major pilgrimage (Hajj), let them make the sacrificial offering as it is affordable. As for someone who cannot afford (the offering), let him fast for three days during the pilgrimage and seven when you return; that is ten days in total. That is for someone whose family does not dwell by the Holy Mosque. Be God-conscious and know that Allah is severe in retribution.

وأتموا الحج والعمرة لله فإن أحصرتم فما استيسر من الهدي ولا تحلقوا رؤوسكم حتى يبلغ الهدي محله فمن كان منكم مريضا أو به أذى من رأسه ففدية من صيام أو صدقة أو نسك فإذا أمنتم فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدي فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام في الحج وسبعة إذا رجعتم تلك عشرة كاملة ذلك لمن لم يكن أهله حاضري المسجد الحرام واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله شديد العقاب
