Ruling on starting by shaving the right half of the head

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it taken from the previous hadiths that one should shave the right half of the hair first, then the other half?

Answer:
Yes, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to start with the right side. If you want to shave, start with the right side, the right side of the head. This is a recommended practice, favoring the right, because shaving for Hajj or 'Umrah is an act of worship, and acts of worship are performed favoring the right, like the ablution (wudu'). Yes, one starts with the right side, yes.
