Question 620) - What is the penalty upon the Muhrim for shaving his hair?

A: Damm is Wajib if he shaves his head or beard or a quarter of either. For less than a quarter the penalty is Sadaqah. If he shaves his armpits or pubic hairs then Damm is Wajib. Shortening the hair and shaving it is the same in regards Damm and Sadaqah. If it removed in some other way, or plucked out or combed out then it is the same as ruling as shaving.
