Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hajj The Islamic Pilgrimage According to The Five Schools of Islamic Law Taqsir According to Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Malik, it is necessary to shave (halq) or shorten the hair (taqsir) of the entire head. According to Abu Hanifah the same of a one‑fourth portion of the head is sufficient; according to al‑Shafi'i cutting of three hairs suffices.

(Karrarah's al‑Din wa al‑Hajj) According to the Imamiyyah, in taqsir one has the free choice of performing it by shortening either the hair of the head, the beard, or the moustaches or the fingernails. All the five schools agree that taqsir is an obligatory rite, though not a rukn.

According to al‑Sayyid al‑Hakim, its relationship to Hajj is the same as that of the salam with respect to the salat, because the muhrim is relieved after it of his state of ihram in the same way as one performing the salat is after the salam. The taqsir or the halq, whatever be the divergence of opinion about them, is to be performed once during 'Umrah mufradah and twice during Hajj al‑tamattu ’. The details follow.

Taqsir in `Umrah According to the Imamiyyah, one performing ' Umrat al‑tamattu' has to perform taqsir after the sa’y ; it is not permissible for him to perform halq. After it everything forbidden to him in the state of ihram becomes permissible. But if he performs halq, he should sacrifice a sheep. However, if he is on 'Umrah mufradah, he may choose between halq and taqsir , regardless of whether he brings along with him the hady or not.

If the taqsir is omitted intentionally, in case one had planned to perform Hajj al‑tamattu' and had assumed ihram before performing the taqsir , his 'Umrah is invalid and it is then obligatory upon him to perform Hajj al‑'ifrad: that is, the rites of Hajj followed by ' Umrah mufradah, and it is better for him to do Hajj again the next year.'[^1] [48] According to non‑Imamiyyah schools, one has a choice between taqsir and halq after finishing his sa’y .

As to relief from the state of ihram , if one were performing a non‑tamattu' 'Umrah, he obtains relief from ihram after halq or taqsir , regardless of whether the hady accompanies him or not. But if one is performing ' Umrat al‑tamattu ; he is relieved of ihram if not accompanied by the hady; but if accompanied he remains in the state of ihram .
