The ruling on shortening hair from two sides of the head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who shortens the hair from two sides of the head after the redness has ended?
Answer:
The correct view is that one should shorten the entire head. The past is forgiven by Allah, may He be exalted. Some people hold that it is sufficient, but the correct view, and the one that is harmful, is to shorten the entire head, including the sides and the top. This is the correct view. So, do not do it in the future. Every illness is forgiven by Allah, may He be exalted, if it is harmful, if Allah wills. Yes.
