Is shaving the head permissible for a person in ihram using an electric clipper, or is a razor required?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is shaving done with a razor, or is it done down to the skin with an electric clipper?

Answer:
It removes the hair. What matters is that it removes the hair from its roots; that is what shaving is. Yes.
