The ruling on thinning the hair with scissors from the sides and its relation to qaza'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Qaza' is shaving some of the hair on the head and leaving some. Does thinning the hair with scissors from all sides, without shaving it all, count as qaza'?
Answer:
Thinning the hair all over is fine. That is why nowadays they shave it, either with a razor or with a clipper, cutting it in stages. So if the hair is thinned all over, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he cuts some of it and leaves some, that is not permissible; that is, it is disliked. Yes.
