A pilgrim in 'Umrah cutting his own hair when exiting the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have performed 'Umrah several times, and I cut my hair myself to exit the state of ihram. I have heard that it is not permissible for a person in ihram to cut his own hair, so what is obligatory for me?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. When exiting the state of ihram, you cut your own hair just as someone else would cut it for you. This prohibition applies only during the state of ihram. While you are in ihram, it is not permissible for you to cut any of your hair, because this is among the prohibitions of ihram.
And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter.وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
for him. Yes.
