Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man wants to perform Hajj and wants to appoint someone to slaughter the udhiyah on his behalf in Riyadh. Is it valid for him to shave his head after completing 'Umrah and Hajj, before the udhiyah is slaughtered? He shaves his head for the sake of the rites.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but he must not take any of his nails or hair, from his beard or armpits, until the udhiyah is slaughtered. As for shaving the head, he does it for the sake of the rites. Yes.
