The Case of Allowing One’s Hairs to Grow When One Decides to Perform al-Hajj and al-Umrah

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that al-Hajj is performed during the designated months, which are the months of Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and Dhu al-Hajj ah. One who decides to perform al- Hajj, should allow his hair to grow as soon as he looks at the moon of the month of Dhu al-Qa’dah. One who decides to perform al-‘Umrah should allow his hair to grow for one month.”
