(21). 2974. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā reported from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to me while I was lighting a fire under a pot, and lice were falling on my face, or on my eye-brows. He said: 'Are your lice bothering you?'" [He said:] "I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast three days, or feed six needy people.'"
Ayyub said: "I do not know which of them he started with." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
It is proven from this Hadīth, if the head has to be shaved due to a reason, in the state of Iḥrām, then the expiation has to be carried out, which is: fasting for three days or feeding six poor persons, or to sacrifice a goat. The person carrying out the expiation has the choice to choose any of the three.
