The Ruling on Qa'z

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A practice known as qa'z has spread among a number of young men. He asks: What is the ruling on this matter, and what is your advice to them?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Qa'z is shaving part of the head and leaving the rest. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Shave it all or leave it all.احلقه كله أو اتركه كله،
As for shaving part of it and leaving part of it, that is qa'z. And this is imitating the Christians.
