What is the ruling on cutting some of the hair during 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All the items on display in the era that has displays, he will pray 'Asr with us, if Allah wills, and give them to me, even the letters, if Allah wills, because I say this is a council of knowledge. Amen, and may it be with you.
Praise be to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from the evil of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomsoever He misguides, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his Companions and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment).
As for what follows:
This is the seventy-seventh meeting of the Open Door, and we ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to make it a source of good and blessing. It is the meeting that takes place every Thursday of every week. This is the Thursday corresponding to the fourteenth of the month of Jumada al-Akhirah. This is the meeting, and this is the day, Thursday the fourteenth of Jumada al-Akhirah. Due to the tightness of time, we begin now to answer the questions, starting from the right.
The questioner : O Shaykh, a man went for 'Umrah and cut his hair from the front and the back like this. Does he have to offer a sacrifice or not?
The Shaykh : The one who went for 'Umrah and cut his hair must ensure that the cutting covers the entire head. It is wrong to cut from one side, or from two sides, or from three, or from four. The cutting must cover the entire head.
Therefore, we see that if a person uses these clippers... four or something similar, the intended purpose is achieved.
It is looked at: if the cutting covers most of the head, that suffices; otherwise, he must offer a fidyah (ransom payment) by slaughtering it in Makkah and distributing it to the poor. Do you have a question?
