Question:
This questioner says: A man performed 'Umrah. He did not shorten his hair and did not shave his head, and he says that this is not obligatory. He says that shaving and shortening are not obligatory.
Answer:
Shaving and shortening the hair for the one performing 'Umrah is a ritual of the rituals of 'Umrah, and it is obligatory and must be done.[Al-Fath 48:27] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, forgive those who shave their heads. O Allah, forgive those who shave their heads. O Allah, forgive those who shave their heads." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who shorten their hair?" He said: "And those who shorten their hair" in the fourth time. Shaving or shortening the hair in 'Umrah and in Hajj is a ritual that must be done. And this ignorant person says: No, it is not obligatory. Yes, he did not complete his 'Umrah. He did not complete the 'Umrah. Yes.

You will surely enter al-Masjid al-Haram, if Allah wills, in safety, with your heads shaved and [hair] shortened
لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ مُحَلِّقِينَ رُءُوسَكُمْ وَمُقَصِّرِينَ
