The ruling on shaving the head after 'Umrah in a place other than Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: A person performed 'Umrah but did not shave or shorten his hair, and he returned to al-Madinah without knowing the ruling regarding 'Umrah. He then shaved his head in al-Madinah, and he is unable to return to Makkah. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
He is not required to return to Makkah.
The questioner:
Ah.
The Shaykh:
Shaving and shortening the hair are permissible in any place; it is not restricted to the Haram. So if he shaves or shortens his hair in al-Madinah, or in al-Riyadh, or in al-Qasim, that suffices, on the condition that he remains in his state of ihram, meaning he has not engaged in sexual intercourse and has not committed any of the prohibitions of ihram.
