يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَاجِّ إِذَا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا لَعَلَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَجِّهِ مِنْ حَكٍّ أَوْ قَمْلَةٍ سَقَطَتْ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that after completing al-Hajj when about to leave, one should buy a dirham worth of dates and give as charity; as expiation for, one, perhaps, during his al- Hajj, one may have scratched his body or may have caused some insect to fall off his body or so.”’

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَاشْتَرِ بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً فَيَكُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ فِي إِحْرَامِكَ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ بِمَكَّةَ.

‘When you want to leave Makkah, buy one dirham of dates. Give it as charity, a handful and a handful and it will be (as ransom) for you because of what may have happened during the time you were in the state of Ihram and when you were in Makkah.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 2 of this Chapter)
