The final step after which your Umrah will be completed and your Ihram restrictions will be lifted, is shaving, cutting, or trimming your hair.
Here’s how it works.
Cutting Hair After Umrah For Men
Men have two options when cutting their hair after Umrah.
- Halaq: Completely shave the head. This is preferable and has more rewards.
- Qasar: Equally trimming your hair from all sides of the head.
There’s no third method.
Some people simply cut a few hairs from different parts of the head and think they’re done. That’s not the right practice.
So follow the two ways I’ve shared above.
Cutting Hair After Umrah For Ladies
Women are not required to shave their heads after Umrah (thankfully).
Nor do they need to trim their heads from all sides (again, thankfully)
They simply gather all their hair in one hand, making them even by cutting their edges.
Then, they’ll roll the hair once on their finger and cut from there. That’ll mean they’ll cut around 1-2 centimeters of hair from the bottom.
They can ask their husbands or any other Mahram or woman to help them with this.
You Have Completed Your Umrah
By cutting your hair, you have completed your Umrah, Alhamdulillah.
Congratulations, may Allah SWT accept it from you, forgive any mistakes, and make it a source of guidance for you and your family and anyone who assisted you in this journey.
Now you’re free of the Ihram restrictions and can wear your regular clothes.
