The Ruling on Shaving the Head in Hajj and 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is shaving the head a recommended practice (sunnah) in Hajj but not in 'Umrah, based on the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Hajj, or is it general for both Hajj and 'Umrah?
Answer:
Shaving is better because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for those who shaved three times, and for those who shortened their hair only once. So shaving is better. But they said: if Hajj is close to the 'Umrah, and you are exiting the state of ihram from the 'Umrah while Hajj is near, then it is better to shorten your hair for the 'Umrah so that you have enough hair to shave for the Hajj. Yes.
