Question: Is shortening some of the hair and not other parts enter into the Qaza’ which is prohibited?
Answer: “No, verily Qaza’ is shaving some of the head and not other parts*”
[Kanz uth-Thameen Fi Su’alaat Ibn Sunayd no. 716 pg. 166]
*Translator’s Note:
The Shaikh’s fatwa above should be understood to mean that which does not enter into imitating the disbelievers. For the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم
He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them
[Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 4031]
