A: If the Muhrim violates any of these restrictions for a reason, e.g. he was afflicted with fever, there was severe heat or cold, headache or excessive lice then he has a choice in every situation wherein Damm is wajib to either slaughter a sheep in the Haram or give sadaqah of 3 sa' of wheat, or 6 sa' of raisins/dates/barley to 6 Miskin; giving each of them a half Sa' of wheat or a Sa' of raisins/dates/barley; or he can fast 3 days.
