Question:
One of our professors says that shortening the hair for 'Umrah is not valid unless done with an electric clipper, and that shortening with scissors is not a valid shortening.
Answer:
This is a statement from someone who has no basis for it. The electric clipper was not found until recently. If that were the case, the Companions would have been wrong, and all the Salaf would have been wrong in shortening with scissors. Yes, the important thing is that he shortens his hair, whether with an electric clipper or with scissors. He shortens some of his hair. Yes.
