Surah 2:196
"Complete the pilgrimage and the visitation for God. But if you are prevented, (make) whatever offering is easy to obtain. Do not shave your heads until the offering has reached its lawful place. Whoever of you is sick or has an injury to his head, (there is) a ransom of fasting or a freewill offering or a sacrifice. When you are secure, whoever makes use of (the time from) the visitation until the pilgrimage, (let him make) whatever offering is easy to obtain. Whoever cannot find (an offering), (let him perform) a fast of three days during the pilgrimage, and seven (days) when you return. That is ten (days) in all. That is for the one whose family is not present at the Sacred Mosque. Guard (yourselves) against God, and know that God is harsh in retribution."
