Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1148/1087=B/1430)

It is not necessary to shave head after Umrah, rather it is permissible to trim the hair to wajib extent:

کما في صحیح البخاري: أن النبي علیہ السلام أذن لأصحابہ أن یجعلوھا عمرۃ یطوفوا ثم یقصروا ویحلوا إلا من کان معہ الھدي (رقم الحدیث /2402:239)

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best

Q. One of my friends tells me that doing an umrah by wearing ahram from "masjid-e-Aisha" is permissible only for women folk and not for men. His explanation was that Nabi-e-Kareem Muhammad (Pbuh) asked aisha(radiallahu anha) to do umrah from "masjid-e-aisha" as she was sick during the time of Hajj, and her brother was not asked to do the same when he accompanied her. If this was permissible for men then Nabi-e-Kareem Muhammad (Pbuh)would have also asked him to do umrah from "masjid-e-aisha". My friend also tells me that according to Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatulla alayh, such umrah is permissible for men but is makruh. Please quote to the exact hadith in discussion and explanation as to how and why it is permissible for men and also comment on the views of my friend. Jazakallahukhaira. 2219 views
