The questioner : May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you, esteemed Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : The majority of scholars analogized the rest of the hair in Hajj to the shaving of the hair of the head.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is it not possible to cite the inclusion of the rest of the hair in the prohibition of shaving it as evidence, based on the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Hajj 22:29] Especially since Ibn 'Abbas mentioned in his interpretation of this verse that it refers to shaving the hair, trimming the nails, and the like?
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : And this is a permission following a prohibition.
The Shaykh : Yes, what serves as evidence is what indicates the prohibition. In fact, it indicates that it is required for a person to clean himself after completing Hajj, just as we say, for example, that one is required to clean himself on Friday by trimming the nails and the like. This does not mean that it is prohibited for the rest of the week. So there is no evidence in it for that. However, there is no doubt that telling people to leave these things is a matter of precaution and accustoming them to revering the rituals. There is no doubt that it is better. Yes.
The questioner : The time is up, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It is over. Fine, one last one.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is it not possible to cite the inclusion of the rest of the hair in the prohibition of shaving it as evidence, based on the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:
Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows
ثم ليقضوا تفثهم وليوفوا نذورهمThe Shaykh : Yes
