Does excessive shortening of the hair suffice for the pilgrim in place of shaving?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Does shortening the hair excessively until the skin is visible suffice in place of shaving?
No, it appears—may Allah know best—that shaving is better; because shaving removes the traces of the hair, making the worship more complete. Shortening is less, and it is sufficient, but in terms of virtue, shaving is better.
Q: Does it only happen with a razor?
A: Yes.
