Cutting
the hair from around the base of the head only
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: During Hajj, we see some people
(males) cutting short their hair just from the bottom and
around their heads only leaving the rest of the head untouched.
They don't cut any of the hair from there. When we told them
that cutting the hair should be done equally all over the
head, they said that this is what is required. So, which of
the two actions is obligatory?
Response:
That which is obligatory is for the head to either be shaved
or hair cut equally from all over the head during Hajj and
'Umrah. It is not required to take from every single hair.
That which has been mentioned (in the question) is not sufficient
according to the correct opinions of the People of Knowledge
and nor is it from the Sunnah
of Muhammed (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam).
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
