Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is shaving with an electric device considered valid? If he uses a zero setting, or is it necessary to use a razor?
Answer:
No, a razor is necessary. The electric shaver takes the place of the razor. If it is on the zero setting, that is shaving. If it is on a setting higher than that, like two or three, that is considered shortening the hair.
