Surah ii 192: "Perform the pilgrimage and the visitation of the holy places...But whoever among you is sick, or hath an ailment of the head, must expiate by fasting, or alms, or a sacrifice." Surah lvii 14: "On that day (the Day of Judgement) so expiation shall be taken from you (i.e. the hypocrites) or from those who do not believe; your abode is the fire.
