Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I performed the obligatory Hajj and did not shorten my hair from all sides, but I did shorten some of it. What is the ruling? Is the Hajj valid?
The Shaykh : Yes, the Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. The ruling is that you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) that you must slaughter in Makkah and distribute to the poor there, as the scholars have stated regarding one who leaves an obligatory act of Hajj. Shaving or shortening the hair is among the obligatory acts of Hajj.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
