The ruling on a pilgrim performing 'Umrah shaving or shortening his own hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: When exiting the state of ihram, is it permissible for the one performing 'Umrah to shorten his own hair? Or is it necessary for another person to shorten it for him, even if he is performing 'Umrah? And if it is not permissible, what is required of me in that regard? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
He is unable to shorten his own hair because he cannot reach the entire head, so it is necessary for another person to shorten it for him. He should seek someone to shorten his hair by running the scissors over all sides of the head and cutting from them, whereas he himself is unable to reach his entire head and cut from it. Yes.
