So I shaved his head, then he came and ran the razor over my head, but he only shaved a section and did not finish, and he was afraid. He says: So we left.
The Shaykh:
He was afraid? Yes, indeed.
The questioner:

There is nothing wrong with a person in ihram shaving his companion's head and his companion shaving his, because this is the beginning of exiting the state of ihram, so there is no harm.
