Fatwa ID: 09267

 

 

Answered by Mufti Abdurrahman Mohammad

 

Question: 

 

Can a muhrim who’s not done umrah yet shave another muhrim’s hair who has completed umrah to come out of ihram?

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

A Muhrim who has not yet completed his own Umrah is not permitted to shave the head of another Muhrim. Removing hair is a prohibited act while in the state of Ihrām, whether it involves removing one’s own hair or the hair of someone else. If a person does remove hair in this state, it constitutes a violation and incurs a penalty. In such a case, he must give Sadaqah equal to ½ Sā’ of wheat or its equivalent value to feed the poor, which is the same amount required for Sadaqatul Fitr.

 

 

Only Allah ﷻ knows best.

وَإِنْ حَلَقَ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَ حَالٍّ تَصَدَّقَ بِشَيْءٍ، وَإِذَا حَلَقَ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَ مُحْرِمٍ آخَرَ بِأَمْرِهِ أَوْ بِغَيْرِ أَمْرِهِ فَعَلَى الْمَحْلُوقِ دَمٌ وَعَلَى الْحَالِقِ صَدَقَةٌ اهـ. وَهَذِهِ الْعِبَارَةُ إنَّمَا تَقْتَضِي لُزُومَ الصَّدَقَةِ الْمُقَدَّرَةِ بِنِصْفِ صَاعٍ فِيمَا إذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَ مُحْرِمٍ
