Yes, shaving part of the head and leaving part of it, whether from the back or the front, this is the forbidden qaza' (shaving the head in patches), and it is the practice of the Zoroastrian priests. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shave it all or leave it all." The head is either to be shaved entirely or left entirely. As for shaving part of it and leaving part of it, this is not permissible. Yes.
