The Importance of Shaving or Cutting Hair Before Tawaf Al-Ifada

SUMMARY: Abdullah ibn Umar advised a relative of his to shave his head or cut his hair before doing the tawaf al-ifada.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar once met a relative of his called al-Mujabbar who had done the tawaf al-ifada but, out of ignorance, had not shaved his head or cut his hair. Abdullah told him to go back and shave his head or cut his hair, and then go back and do the tawaf al-ifada.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُجَبَّرُ قَدْ أَفَاضَ وَلَمْ يَحْلِقْ وَلَمْ يُقَصِّرْ جَهِلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيَحْلِقَ أَوْ يُقَصِّرَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَيُفِيضَ

This hadith is about the importance of shaving or cutting one's hair before performing the tawaf al-ifada. Tawaf al-ifada is one of the rituals performed during Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages in Islam. It involves circumambulating around the Kaaba seven times in an anti-clockwise direction. According to this hadith, Abdullah ibn Umar advised a relative of his who had done the tawaf al-ifada but did not shave his head or cut his hair out of ignorance to go back and do so before completing it again. This shows us that it is important for Muslims to follow all rituals properly when performing Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages as prescribed by Islamic teachings in order for them to be accepted by Allah SWT.
