Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a pilgrim performing Hajj or 'Umrah to ask the barber for the cost of the shave before or after the shave?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; there is no blame on him. Yes, agreeing with him on two riyals for ten for the shave is fine. Yes. Hmm. It does no harm; there is nothing in it. They do not dislike it; they have no evidence against it; there is no evidence. If they agree with him on two riyals, or five, or six, there is nothing wrong with it. Some people are greedy; they may ask for a great deal, and for what is not due to them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
