The questioner : May Allah reward you. We explained that shaving the nape of the neck is the neck. How...
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : We said that the intended meaning of shaving the nape of the neck is the neck, and it is known that there is a difference between the nape and the neck. The nape is the back of the head, and the neck is something else. I mean, is there a context, for example?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known, because shaving the nape of the neck alone, without shaving the rest of the head, is of the type of balding (qa'z) that is prohibited.
The questioner : The Zoroastrians actually do this.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The Zoroastrians actually do this.
The Shaykh : Who?
The questioner : I mean, the Zoroastrians shave only the nape of the neck.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not possible that Imam Ahmad would use the action of the Zoroastrians as evidence, knowing that he was aware that balding (qa'z) was prohibited. He would have used balding (qa'z) as evidence. Then, the word that Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said is the meaning of the neck, as the brother 'Abdullah said. Yes, very well.
