Q
What is the significance of offering a sacrifice or feeding the poor as a form of expiation?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He
said, “Are the lice of your head troubling you?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Shave your head and fast for
three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice.” (The sub-narrator, Aiyub said,
“I do not know with which of these three options he started.”)
