Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a pilgrim or one performing 'Umrah to cut his own hair when exiting the state of ihram?

Answer:
There is no objection. If he wants to exit the state of ihram, he may cut his hair for the purpose of exiting ihram, not for the sake of comfort. He cuts it for the purpose of exiting ihram; this is an act of worship. He cuts it for the sake of worship, and there is nothing wrong with that. What is forbidden is cutting it or shaving it for the sake of comfort.
