Cutting Hair in 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I went to perform 'Umrah with my wife, and after the tawaf and sa'y, I cut some of the hair on my head, a small amount, while my wife did not cut any of her hair. Please note that this happened to me in a previous 'Umrah as well.

Answer:
Cutting hair from the head for the rites of Hajj or 'Umrah, in the case of a man, must cover the entire head; he cuts from all of it, meaning from all its sides, its edges, and its center, and he does not limit it to just one side of the head. As for the woman, she cuts a finger's width from each of her braids.
