Shortening the Hair for the One Performing 'Umrah, Whether by Himself or by Someone Else
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Some people found a fatwa confusing regarding the shortening of hair by the person who completed his 'Umrah himself, meaning he asks someone else to do it. The one who has finished his 'Umrah, meaning the fatwa confused people; it is said that the one who has finished his 'Umrah does not shorten his own hair, but another person shortens it.
The Shaykh:
Who said this? He said that it is obligatory for him to shorten his neighbor's hair himself, and it is not permissible for someone else to shorten it. Who said this?
The questioner:
The opposite is the case.
The Shaykh:
Both are permissible. It is permissible for him to shorten his own hair, and it is permissible for him to order someone else to do it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the barber shave his head by his order (peace and blessings be upon him).
