What is the ruling on shortening the hair after 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have performed 'Umrah more than once, and I have not shaved my head; rather, I have only taken from the sides with scissors, and I have not shaved to this day. What is required of me?
Answer:
You owe nothing. Shortening is the shortening, and Allah has given a choice between shaving and shortening. He said, "Shaving your heads or shortening them." But shaving is better. Shaving is better, and shortening is sufficient. However, it is not enough that you take from some sides of the head; rather, you must cover the entire head from all sides, and you must not leave any side from which you do not shorten. What has passed is sufficient, but in the future, you should shorten from the entire head.
