The questioner : What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding hair: ?
The Shaykh : Its explanation is by the hadith of Ibn 'Umar:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5051Sahih (Darussalam), [where the Prophet] prohibited al-qaza' (shaving patches); this is when one shaves a part of his head and leaves another part. This was derived from the comparison of this shaving to scattered clouds in the sky, with a piece here and a piece there. It appears that this was among their customs, and perhaps it still exists in some lands where people shave their entire heads and leave a patch here, like a bald spot. Yes?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The important point is that what is prohibited is shaving one part and leaving another. So when he said:, it means it is a prohibition of al-qaza' (shaving patches).
Yes.
Leave it all or shave it all
اتركوه كله أو احلقوه كلهThe Shaykh : Its explanation is by the hadith of Ibn 'Umar:
The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade Al-Qaza' (to shave part of the head and leave part).
نهى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - عن القزعAnother questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The important point is that what is prohibited is shaving one part and leaving another. So when he said:
Shave it all or leave it all.
احلقوه كله أو دَعُوه كلهYes.
