What is the value in Saudi Riyals of the fidyah required for removing hair or trimming nails?
Among the prohibitions of are removing hair or trimming nails, and doing so necessitates a (expiatory offering) with options: sacrificing a sheep, or feeding six poor people — half a sa' to each, or fasting three days. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its place of sacrifice. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head - then an expiation of fasting or charity or sacrifice." (Al-Baqarah: 196), and on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying to Ka'b ibn Ujrah: "Shave [your head], and fast three days, or feed six poor people, or offer a sacrifice." The fidyah cannot be given in cash; it must be given in food. As for taking from hair or nails for someone who intends to offer a sacrifice but is not in Ihram, there is no fidyah for it; rather, one must seek forgiveness and repent.
