Question:
What is the ruling on one who performed 'Umrah and did not shave his head, but was content with cutting a part of his head?
Answer:
Cutting is sufficient, but it must cover the entire head. Allah the Exalted said: "Shaving your heads or cutting them short." Cutting is sufficient in place of shaving, even though shaving is better. However, it must cover the head; one does not take from a part of the head or from one side of the head and leave the rest. He must cover his head with the cutting.
