Does shortening the hair suffice in place of shaving?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. I performed ‘Umrah and did not shave my head; rather, I cut from various parts with scissors. Does this suffice in place of shaving? Please inform us, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Shortening and cutting the hair for the one in ihram must cover the head sufficiently, such that some of the head is cut and some is left. So, if the questioner is not long past his ‘Umrah, he should put on the ihram garments again, take off the sewn garments, and then shorten the hair from his entire head, because he is able to complete his ritual. Yes.
