How to shave the head during 'Umrah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Also, a question. There is a Bedouin brother of mine who also wants to ask a question, my teacher.
The Shaykh : Yes, go ahead.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Welcome.
The questioner : O Shaykh! We have a brother who went for 'Umrah and shaved his head short, which we call "shaving to zero" here in Jordan. He did not shave with a razor, so he asked a righteous Shaykh... and he told him: this is shaving. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : Shaved with what?
The questioner : With a clipper.
The Shaykh : If the clipper is number zero.
The questioner : It leaves some hair.
The Shaykh : If the clipper is number: zero; then it is shaving. But if it is number: one or three; then it is cutting and not shaving.
The questioner : But it leaves some hair. Is it obligatory that the shaving be complete, or not?
The Shaykh : Did you understand the answer?
The questioner : Yes, I understood the answer.
The Shaykh : Yes!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh!
The Shaykh : And you likewise.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
