Offences and their Expiations 225
Answer: No. Performing sacrifice is not Wājib for a Mufrid, it is
Mustaḥab for him. (ibid, pp. 1140) If he wishes to perform sacrifice, it
is better for him to do Ḥalq first, then perform sacrifice.
Questions and answers about Ḥalq and Taqṣīr
Question 1: If a Ḥājī gets his head shaved after 12 th Żul-Ḥijjaĥ out
of Ḥaram, what will be the expiation for him
Answer: He will have to pay two Dams; one for getting Ḥalq done
out of Ḥaram and the other for getting it done after 12 th Żul-Ḥijjaĥ.
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 666)
Question 2: Can the Ḥalq for ‘Umraĥ be done out of Ḥaram
Answer: No. If it is done out of Ḥaram, Dam will become Wājib.
However, there is no restriction of time for it. (Durr-e-Mukhtār, Rad-dul-
Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 666)
Question 3: Is it Wājib even for those working in Jeddah etc. to have
Ḥalq or Taqṣīr done every time they perform ‘Umraĥ
Answer: Yes. Otherwise the restrictions of Iḥrām will not come to
an end.
Question 4: If a woman has short hair (as in fashion these days) and
she is also enthusiastic about performing ‘Umraĥ but fears the loss
of all hair due to repeated Qaṣr, what should she do If the length of
the hair of a woman is shorter than that of a finger digit, Qaṣr for
‘Umraĥ is not possible for her. What is the ruling for her in case of
performing ‘Umraĥ
Answer: As long as a woman has hair on her head, it will remain
Wājib for her to do Qaṣr every time she performs ‘Umraĥ. The
Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ
has stated: It is (Wājib)
for women to do Qaṣr, not Ḥalq. (Abū Dāwūd, vol. 2, pp. 295, Ḥadīš 1984)
