The Prohibition of Shaving Part of the Head and Leaving Part of It

Question:
A letter was received by the program from Riyadh, sent by a listener who referred to his name by the letters: (A. B. Z). He asks a number of questions, one of which is: What is the ruling on shaving some of the hair and leaving some? And what is the ruling on slightly thinning the hair? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for shaving some and leaving some, this is not permissible. Some scholars have affirmed that it is disliked, but the apparent meaning of the hadith is that it is forbidden; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So one should not shave part of his head and leave part of it. No, either he shaves it all, or he leaves it all. And if he thins it with a clipper, there is nothing wrong with it. If he goes over it all with the clipper and does not shave it, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
