Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, he says: What is the ruling on qaza'? Does it mean taking some hair from the head, or does it mean shaving with a razor?
Answer:
Shaving with a razor is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did; he shaved his entire head. As for qaza', it is shaving part of the head and leaving part of it, like what the Christians do. This qaza' shaving involves shaving some and leaving some. It is called qaza' by analogy to the scattered patches of clouds in the sky.
