Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):, so what is the authenticity of this hadith? And does it necessitate shaving the hair that grows on the ears during 'Umrah or Hajj?
Answer:
Yes, the ears are part of the head, and authentic hadiths indicate this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would wipe over his head and both ears together, and he did not wash them with the face. This indicates that they are part of the head. It is obligatory to wipe them in wudu' along with the head, and to shave what is above them in Hajj and 'Umrah.
