How does one perform Hajj after undergoing a hair transplant?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I underwent a hair transplant procedure on the front of my head. During my performance of the obligatory Hajj, and also 'Umrah, when shaving my head, I do not shave the front of the head; rather, I only shorten the hair on the sides of my head. Is my action correct?
The Shaykh:
It is not correct. Shortening must be from the hair of the entire head, not just from a part of it, but from the whole, the total hair of the head: the front, the middle, and the back. Yes.
The questioner:
Does he have to do anything?
The Shaykh:
If he removed most of the hair on his head, and that is what he knows is sufficient, then it is sufficient, if Allah wills. But in the future, he should be aware of this. Yes.
