The ruling on one who shortened part of his head while ignorant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person shortened part of his head in past years while ignorant, then he learned the ruling afterward. What is required of him? Knowing that it has been many years.
Answer:
It suffices him, if Allah wills. It suffices him if he was ignorant and did not know, and he performed a shortening of his head, though he did not complete it. This suffices, praise be to Allah. But in the future, he should shorten the entire head. As for what has passed, Allah forgives it, because the shortening that occurred was a type of shortening, meaning a type of ritual was performed, and some scholars held this view.
