Explanation:
Arabic Possessives are suffixes attached to the nouns they modify. The singular masculine possessive is the sound H, written in various forms based on traditional Arabic orthography.

A number of rules apply when the modified noun is feminine with a feminine ending, or when the noun is a regular non-singular (double or plural). Exmples:

رأس، رأسـه

جبهة، جبهته

يد، يده

يدان، يداه

مُحبُّون، مُحبُّوه

Explanation:
First i would like to agree to what Yahia and Naia wrote. As we know that "his" can be used as both an a possessive adjective which Nadia and Yahia addressed only, and
a possessive pronoun as in :
This is his. or
It is his.
Here "his" is used as a possessive pronoun which means:
"له" "laho"
