The ruling on cutting hair by another person during 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A man was performing 'Umrah, and when he finished the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), he found a man with him who had scissors, so he cut his hair for him. He cut his hair for him. When he returned to the hotel, some of the brothers told him, "This is not permissible." How is it not permissible?
Answer:
As long as he cut his hair, the objective has been achieved. As long as he cut his hair, he ordered the man with the scissors to cut his hair with his permission, intending to exit the state of ihram from the 'Umrah. This is sufficient. However, he should not cut only part of his head; he should leave it and cut the entire head. If he did not complete it, he should complete it. He should put back the clothes of ihram and complete the cutting of his head.
