The questioner : Is it permissible to cut the hair on the head so that it is even, or to shave it with a machine, or with a razor?
The Shaykh : You may choose any manner of shaving, but avoid two things. The first is what is explicitly mentioned, which is qaza' (shaving patches), meaning shaving one spot and leaving another, and so on. This is not permissible.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you. This is the first matter. The other matter is: do not imitate the disbelievers.
