Shaving the head after shortening it on the Day of Sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I shortened some locks of my hair on the Day of Sacrifice. Is it permissible for me to shave my head today and receive the reward of those who shave? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
The shortening has taken place, and praise be to Allah. The first exit from the state of ihram has now occurred. You have the choice: you may shave or you may not. However, you must know that the more correct view regarding the shortening is that it should cover all sides of the head, including the top of the head, covering the entire head.

The questioner:
If you were with him.

The Shaykh:
And you have now shaved, may Allah reward you with good. That is fine.

The questioner:
No, and if you please.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
