Note
- If hair falls due to a valid Shar’ee reason, (e.g. Wudhu/Khilaal), or gets burnt, (e.g. while cooking), then give a handful of wheat as Sadaqah for every 3 strands.
- No Jazaa becomes due if hair falls off due to an illness or during sleep or on its own.
- The stipulated penalty becomes Waajeeb whether one removes the hair or has it removed intentionally, (and whether done under duress or done in a state of forgetfulness).
- There is no penalty for the one who returns within the boundaries of the Haram and then has his hair removed in order to come out of Ihraam.
- If the size of the hair of a male is shorter than the length of the first finger joint before shaving or trimming then it is compulsory to perform Halq and not Qasr.
- There is no Jazaa for a Muhrim who combs or grooms his hair, without any falling of hair; however, he will be sinful due to the act of combing.
- A Muhrim cannot trim the beard/moustache or remove pubic or axillary hair until he has trimmed or shaved the hair of the head. If he did so then a Damm becomes Waajeeb.
- Removing a quarter of the hair of the head or beard does not refer to the length of the hair. Rather, it refers to the surface area from where the hair is removed.
