  • Trimming Of Hair For Umrah In Hajj-i-Tamatto

    Posted by Fazeel Bhatti on June 9, 2023 at 2:05 pm

    I am undertaking Hajj this year and have performed Umrah a few days ago after tying Ihram from the Meeqat near Medina. After the Umrah I did not get my head shaved (halaq) and instead only got my hair lightly trimmed as I intend to get my head shaved after performing Hajj.

    Need clarification if my Umrah is valid or am I liable for a penalty?

    Shaving of the head (halq) is recommended but not compulsory, therefore if a person has had a haircut (Taksir), his umra/hajj will also be valid.

    Quran mentions both these things:

    لَقَدۡ صَدَقَ اللّٰہُ رَسُوۡلَہُ الرُّءۡیَا بِالۡحَقِّ ۚ لَتَدۡخُلُنَّ الۡمَسۡجِدَ الۡحَرَامَ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰہُ اٰمِنِیۡنَ ۙ مُحَلِّقِیۡنَ رُءُوۡسَکُمۡ وَ مُقَصِّرِیۡنَ ۙ لَا تَخَافُوۡنَ ؕ فَعَلِمَ مَا لَمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡا فَجَعَلَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ ذٰلِکَ فَتۡحًا قَرِیۡبًا

    [So, rest assured O Believers!] it is a fact that God had shown His messenger an absolutely true dream. Indeed, if God wills, you will definitely enter the Sacred Mosque with complete peace in a way that you will shave your heads and have hair-cuts; you will have no fear. It was only that God knew what you did not; so, before this, He blessed you with a victory near at hand“.

    (Quran 48:27)

    (Excerpt from Al-Bayan: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi)

    (English Rendering by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)

    ___

    On the occasion of the final hajj, the Prophet (sws) himself had his head shaved (halq) and some of the Companions (rta) also preferred it (https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1729). Abu Huraira (rta) narrates that the Prophet (sws) prayed three times for those who had shaved their heads and once for those who had haircuts (https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1728).
