Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man wants to perform Hajj and wants to appoint someone to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice on his behalf in Riyadh. Is it valid for him to shave his head after finishing 'Umrah and Hajj, before the 'Id sacrifice is slaughtered?
Answer:
He may shave his head for the sake of the rites; there is no harm in that. However, he must not take from its wool or from its hair, whether from his beard or its undergrowth, until the sheep is slaughtered. As for shaving the head, he does it for the sake of the rites.
