Question:
Is there any virtue mentioned in the Sunnah regarding growing the hair on the head and shaving it during Hajj?
Answer:
Yes, yes. It is better to shorten the hair during 'Umrah. For the one performing tamattu', it is better to shorten the hair during 'Umrah so that he can save the shaving for Hajj. This is the best. Because if he shaves during 'Umrah, there will be no hair left to shave for Hajj. Yes, that is sufficient for us. It is strange that some ignorant people, or some followers of deviant schools of jurisprudence, shave part of their head for 'Umrah and leave the rest for Hajj. This is forbidden. This is the qaza' (shaving part of the head) that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. So this is either out of ignorance or out of a false belief. One should be aware of this.
