Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to delay shaving the head after the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and shave in Jeddah if there is a crowd at the shaving places near the Haram?
Answer:
Shaving the head is permissible in any place. The important thing is that you perform the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) and the sa'y for the 'Umrah. As for shaving, you may shave in Makkah, or on the way, or in Jeddah. No, we do not know of any restriction regarding that. The important thing is that you do not leave it undone, and do not have intercourse with your wife before you shave. Yes.
