How to cut the Hair short

Question :

We saw during Hajj that some of the people, when they cut their hair for Hajj or 'Umrah, they cut it from the lower part of the head only in the shape of a circle. They go around the lower part of it on all sides. However, concerning the rest of the hair, they do not remove anything from it (i.e., what is known as a 'bowl cut' in the West). Then, when we said to them that cutting the hair has to be over all of the head, they said to us: "This is what is required." So, which action is obligatory?

Answer:

What is obligatory is to cut all of the hair of the head, whether by shaving it or cutting it shorter, for Hajj or 'Umrah. It is not required to cut something from each and every hair individually. What the person did whom you mentioned is not sufficient according to the most correct view from the opinions of the scholars, nor is it from the Sunnah of Muhammad bin 'Abdullah.
