Shaving the Hair of the Head Other Than in Hajj and 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is shaving the hair of the head for a man other than in Hajj and 'Umrah considered among what is prohibited, and does it involve imitating the Khawarij?

Answer:
No, absolutely not. Shaving the head is permissible other than in Hajj and 'Umrah. He shaves his head, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Shave it all or leave it allاحلقه كله أو دعه كله
There is no harm in that.
