Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is shaving the head as an act of worship to Allah permissible other than in Hajj and 'Umrah?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. It is not permissible to shave the head except in Hajj and 'Umrah. Shaving it in this manner is a bid'ah (religious innovation) in Hajj and 'Umrah. Yes. And if one shaves for the grave, it is not considered major shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
