953. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Laila narrated from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah that the Prophet ﷺ passed by him while he was at Al-Hudaibiyah, before entering Makkah, and he was a Muḥrim. He had lit a fire under a cooking pot and lice were falling all over his face. So he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: "Have these lice of yours troubled you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Shave and feed six of the poor with a Faraq" and a Faraq is three Ṣa' - "or fast three days, or slaughter a sacrifice." Ibn Abī Najīh (one of the narrators) said: "Or slaughter a sheep." (Sahih)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. When a Muḥrim shaves [his head], or wears some clothing
that he is not supposed to wear during his Iḥrām, or he uses perfume, then he has to pay an atonement similar to what was mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
If a Muḥrim has a problem with his head, and needs to shave his head, all agree that he can do it, but have to pay the penalty. He will have to either slaughter an animal, or fast for three days, or feed six poor persons.
