Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This young man says: I hope the Honorable Shaykh will give advice to the youth, especially regarding the haircuts that have started to appear among them, and their abandoning of their Islamic and legal principles.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a young man to do this and cut his hair. Rather, if he wishes, he should keep the hair on his head in the manner mentioned in the hadiths, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If he wishes, he may shave his head; shaving is permissible, shaving is permissible. As for cutting the hair, this is not permissible, especially if it is in an imported style imitating the disbelievers, or those whose morals are bad, or the like of that. Yes.
