Ruling on shaving the sides of the head and leaving the bald spot
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A bald spot is: areas of hair that grow more...?
Answer:
If it is a natural trait, there is nothing wrong with it, and praise be to Allah.
Q: But if he shaves the sides and leaves the side with the bald spot, does that fall under qaza' (shaving the head unevenly)?
A: He should not do anything of the sort.
Q: Is the prohibition for the sake of prohibition?
A: Yes, that is the principle. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1337b, and Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Hashr: 7]. This is a principle among the scholars of knowledge: that the original ruling of a prohibition is that it is forbidden, and the original ruling of a command is that it is obligatory, unless there is evidence to the contrary.

A: Yes, that is the principle. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Avoid that which I forbid you to do and do that which I command you to do to the best of your capacity
ما نهيتُكم عنه فاجتنبوه، وما أمرتُكم به فأتوا به ما استطعتمAnd whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا
