The ruling on saying that one should not comb the hair because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left his head uncombed during Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. May Allah bless you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left his head uncombed during his Hajj, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a head that was not so that the hair would become disheveled. So if a person has a head and does not leave it uncombed, and his hair becomes disheveled during his Hajj,
The Shaykh : and what happens?
The questioner : I mean, his head gets dusty and his hair becomes disheveled. So is it taken from this, I mean, is it sought that he should not comb it?
The Shaykh : He should not comb it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Or he should not leave it uncombed.
The questioner : Does not the abrogation of the ruling imply that this is not done?
The Shaykh : I mean, in the state of ihram, they do not comb.
The questioner : Does the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) leaving his head uncombed imply that if a person does not leave it uncombed, it is prescribed for him to comb his hair?
The Shaykh : And that is not the apparent meaning. The apparent meaning is that he remains as he is, due to the hadith: "The one who is in ihram is disheveled and dusty, with his head uncovered."
