the son of Ja'far, that when the news of the death of Ja'far arrived, the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) gave the family of Ja'far three days to gather, then he came to them and said: "Do not weep for my brother after today." Then he said: "Call the sons of my brother for me." We were brought [to him], and he said: "Call the barber for me," (89) and he ordered him, so he shaved our heads. Reported by [Abu Dawud and al-Tayalisi] (90). This is because the removal of hair with shears is not disliked. This falls within the same meaning, and the saying of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "He is not one of us who shaves [the head]" refers to [doing so] during a calamity, because it contains the wording: "or screams (91) or tears (the garment)." Ibn Abd al-Barr said: "The scholars [in all regions] (92) have reached a consensus on the permissibility of shaving, and this is sufficient as an argument."
As for the removal of hair with shears, it is not disliked according to a single narration. Ahmad said: "They only disliked shaving with a razor, but as for shears, there is no harm in it," because the evidence for dislike pertains specifically to shaving.
Section: As for shaving part of the head, it is disliked and is called al-qaza' (partial shaving), due to what we mentioned from the hadith of Ibn Umar. Abu Dawud narrated it (93), and its wording is that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) forbade al-qaza' and said:
= the tuft, from the Book of Trimming Hair. Sunan Abi Dawud 2/401. And Imam Ahmad, in: The Musnad 2/88. As for what Muslim reported, it is what came in: The Book of the Dislike of al-Qaza', from the Book of Clothing and Adornment. It will be mentioned later. (89) In M: "al-haliq".
