About the Surah

       And complete Hajj and Umra (to please) Allah Alone (i.e. if you put on Ihram with an intention of Umra, you should complete it). And if you are somehow held back (from completing them), then sacrifice an animal which you can afford, and don’t shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice. Whoever is ill or has ailment of head (and therefore, he shaves his head), he should pay penalty of either fasting (for three days) or give charity (feeding six persons) or sacrifice (one sheep). Then if you are in safety, and whosoever performs Umra and Hajj together (i.e. Tamattu or Hajj Qiran), he should sacrifice an animal which he can afford. If he cannot afford a sacrifice, then he should fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days more as he returns home to complete ten days. This instruction is for those who are non-residents of Makkah. Keep in mind that, Allah is severe in punishment.
