Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: It is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his ‘Umrah on the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah, and he invoked blessings for those who shave their heads three times, while only six days remained until the festival. Did he shave twice, or was he content with the shaving he did for the ‘Umrah?
Answer:
Yes, twice. He shaved, he shaved. I do not know whether he said it regarding the ‘Umrah or regarding the Hajj? It appears it was regarding the Hajj. He said it regarding the ‘Umrah. Yes. I do not know. This requires research. Yes.
