Fidyah(فِدْيَة) Fidyah is a religious penalty or expiation required when a হাজী violates the rules of ইহরাম during হজ্জ or উমরাহ. It serves as compensation for the transgression and may involve fasting, charity, or animal sacrifice.
فِدْيَة
Fidyah refers to the compensatory acts a হাজী must perform when they breach any of the restrictions of ইহরাম, whether intentionally or out of necessity. The কুরআন specifically mentions Fidyah in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:196) regarding a হাজী who shaves their head due to illness. The three options typically available are: fasting for three days, feeding six needy persons (each receiving half a Sa' of food), or slaughtering a sheep. The type and severity of the Fidyah can vary depending on the school of jurisprudence (madhab) and the specific violation. Some violations, such as hunting within the Haram, require more specific forms of compensation.
