Sunnats and Aadaab of Keeping Hair – Part One
1. Keep the hair of the entire head the same length. It is impermissible to trim the hair in different lengths. Similarly, it is impermissible to shave a portion of the head and leave a portion unshaved. [1]
Hazrat Ibnu Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that on one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saw a child whose head was partially shaved with a part left unshaved. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) prohibited them (the family) from doing this and said, “Either shave all of it (the hair) or leave all of it (as normal, with all the hair an even length).” [2]
