Is it valid to shave or shorten the hair from part of the head without completing it entirely?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who shaves or shortens part of the head but not the rest?
Answer:
He did not complete the rites, so he should not return to such a state, and it is not possible to shave part of the head. This is what is possible, but shortening is possible, whereas shaving is not possible. One cannot shave part of his head and leave the rest, as that would make him look disfigured.
