Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 134
3. After having performed the Qurbānī, males should do Ḥalq or
Taqṣīr facing the Qiblaĥ. Trimming just a few hair from two or
three places will not suffice.
4. Begin trimming hair from the right side whether doing Ḥalq or
Taqṣīr.
5. Islamic sisters should only get Taqṣīr done i.e. get trimmed each
hair of a quarter of the head equal to a finger digit in length or
do it themselves using scissors. For them to have the head shaved
is Ḥarām. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1142) Remember! It is even
impermissible for a woman to show her hair to a non-Maḥram,
let alone having him cut her hair.
6. As hair is of different lengths, some are long while some are
short; it is safer to get hair cut more than the length of a finger
digit so that not even a single hair is left from being cut equal
to the length of a finger digit.
7. When the time of removing Iḥrām has arrived, the Muḥrim can
shave his own head and that of any other person even though the
other person is also a Muḥrim.
8. Prior to Ḥalq or Taqṣīr, the Muḥrim can neither cut nails nor
trim his beard. If he does so, expiation will become due. After
the head is shaved, it is Mustaḥab to trim the moustache and to
remove pubic hair.
9. The stipulated time for Ḥalq or Taqṣīr is from 10 th to 12 th Żul-
Ḥijjaĥ. However, it is preferable to perform Ḥalq or Taqṣīr on
10 th Żul-Ḥijjaĥ. If Ḥalq or Taqṣīr is not done by the sunset of
12 th of Żul-Ḥijjaĥ, Dam will become due. (‘Ālamgīrī, vol. 1, pp. 231;
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 616)
