Hair that falls out unintentionally does not affect the one in ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The listener is Rabi' Ahmad, an Egyptian resident of Dammam. His question is: What is the effect on ihram if some hair falls out from the head or the beard while combing or bathing? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Hair that falls out without intention or deliberate action does not affect the one in ihram, because it is beyond his control. The one in ihram may comb his hair and take a bath, but he must do so gently so that nothing falls out of his hair. If something falls out without his intention, there is no blame on him.
