IRSYAD HUKUM HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-38: ADAKAH DIKENAKAN DAM SEKIRANYA SYAK RAMBUT GUGUR
Is a dam required if a person in ihram is unsure whether more than three hairs fell out because of their own action?
Short answer
No dam is imposed when a person is in doubt whether the hair fell out through their own action or by itself.

Summary
No dam is imposed when a person is in doubt whether the hair fell out through their own action or by itself. The reasoning is that a person is originally free of liability, and the preferred view holds that there is no fidyah in a case of doubt. Dam is due only if the person is certain the hair was theirs and that it fell because of their own act, such as rubbing the head while bathing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di dalam hal ini, sekiranya ia syak atau tidak pasti sama ada rambut atau bulunya tercabut dengan ikhtiar atau tidak maka ia tidak dikenakan fidyah ini seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Imam Khatib Syarbini di dalam kitabnya.
