or braided. Ahmad said: Whoever does that, let him shave. This is the position of al-Nakha'i, Malik, al-Shafi'i, and Ishaq. Ibn Abbas used to say: Whoever matted, braided, tied, twisted, or coiled [his hair], it is based on what he intended. Meaning, if he intended to shave, let him shave; otherwise, it is not incumbent upon him. The scholars of opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y) said: He is given a choice in all cases, because what we have mentioned implies choice in a general sense, and no evidence has been established to the contrary. Those who supported the first opinion argued that it was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Whoever has matted [his hair], let him shave" (6). It is established from Umar and his son that they ordered whoever matted his head [to shave it. And it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) matted his head] (7), and that he shaved it (8). The correct view is that he is given a choice, unless a report is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The statement of Umar and his son has been opposed by Ibn Abbas, and the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) does not indicate obligation after he had clarified to them the permissibility of both matters.

Section: Shaving and shortening are acts of worship (nusuk) in Hajj and Umrah, according to the manifest school of Ahmad, the statement of al-Khiraqi, and it is the view of Malik, Abu Hanifah, and al-Shafi'i. It is reported from Ahmad that it is not an act of worship, but is rather a release from a prohibition that was forbidden to him due to Ihram, thus it is released upon reaching the state of hill (state of being no longer in Ihram), like clothing, perfume, and other prohibitions of Ihram. According to this narration, there is nothing upon the one who omits it, and the state of hill is achieved without it. The basis for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered [those] released from Umrah before it [shaving/shortening]. Abu Musa narrated, saying: I arrived at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said to me: "With what

ضَفَرَ. فقال أحمدُ: مَن فَعَلَ ذلك فلْيَحْلِقْ. وهو قَوْلُ النَّخَعِيِّ، ومالِكٍ، والشَّافِعِيِّ، وإسحاقَ. وكان ابنُ عَبَّاسٍ يقول: مَن لَبَّدَ، أو ضَفَرَ، أو عَقَدَ، أو فَتَلَ، أو عَقَصَ، فهو على ما نَوَى. يَعْنِى إن نَوَى الحَلْقَ فَلْيَحْلقْ، وإلَّا فلا يَلْزَمُه. وقال أصْحابُ الرَّأْىِ: هو مُخَيَّرٌ على كلِّ حالٍ؛ لأنَّ ما ذَكَرْنَاهُ يَقْتَضِى التَّخْيِيرَ على العُمُومِ، ولم يَثْبُتْ في خِلافِ ذلك دَلِيلٌ. واحْتَجَّ مَن نَصَرَ القَوْلَ الأوَّل، بأنَّه رُوِىَ عن النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، أنَّه قال: "مَنْ لَبَّدَ فَلْيَحْلِقْ" (٦). وثَبَتَ عن عمرَ وابْنِه أنهما أمَرَا مَن لَبَّدَ رَأسَهُ [أن يَحْلِقَهُ. وثَبَتَ أنَّ النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- لَبَّدَ رَأْسَهُ] (٧)، وأنَّه حَلَقَهُ (٨). والصَّحِيحُ أنَّه مُخَيَّرٌ، إلَّا أن يَثْبُتَ الخَبَرُ عن النَّبيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-. وقَوْلُ عمَرَ وابْنِه قد خَالَفَهما فيه ابنُ عَبّاسٍ، وفِعلُ النَّبيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- له لا يَدُلُّ على وُجُوبِه، بعدَ ما بَيَّنَ لهم جَوَازَ الأمْرَيْنِ.

فصل: والحَلْقُ والتَّقْصِيرُ نُسُكٌ في الحَجِّ والعُمْرَةِ، في ظَاهِرِ مذهبِ أحمدَ، وقَوْلِ الخِرَقِيِّ، وهو قَوْلُ مَالِكٍ، وأبي حنيفةَ، والشَّافِعِيِّ. وعن أحمدَ أنَّه ليس بِنُسُكٍ، وإنَّما هو إطْلَاقٌ مِن مَحْظُورٍ كان مُحَرَّمًا عليه بالإِحْرَامِ، فأُطْلِقَ فيه عندَ الحِلِّ، كاللِّبَاسِ والطِّيبِ وسائِرِ مَحْظُورَاتِ الإحْرَامِ. فعلَى هذه الرِّوَايَةِ لا شىءَ على تَارِكِه، ويَحْصُلُ الحِلُّ بِدُونِه. ووَجْهُها أنَّ النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أمَرَ بالحِلِّ من العُمْرَةِ قبلَه، فرَوَى أبو موسى، قال: قَدِمْتُ على رسولِ اللَّه -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، فقال لى: "بِمَ
