Answer:

 

Did not cut hair umrah three

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth.  If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause.  We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire.  Ameen.

 

The Prophet (saws) said, "May Allah bless those who shaved (after their pilgrimage of Hajj or Umrah)." The Companions asked him, "O Allah's Messenger (saws), what about those who clip their hair short?" Thereupon the Prophet (saws) again said, "May Allah bless those who shaved." They repeated their question the third time, and again the Prophet (saws) said, "May Allah bless those who shaved." When they asked him for the fourth time, "O Allah's Messenger (saws), what about those who clip their hair short?"  He (saws) replied: "And (may Allah bless) those who clip their hair short.”

 

The absolute majority of the scholars and the jurists in Islam consider it a preferred act and rite of pilgrimage that one shave their heads; but if one cuts their hair short that too would suffice to fulfill the obligations of the pilgrimage. 

 

Allah Subhanah Alone Knows how this practice of cutting a few clips of hair in three places after one has completed their rites of the Umrah pilgrimage started in the Muslim Ummah…..there is absolutely no evidence in the authentic and established Sunnah or any of the accepted books of ‘Fiqh’ regarding the permissibility of this act…..it is a requirement of pilgrimage to the Sacred House that one either shave their heads, and if not, they should at least have their hair trimmed or cut short. 

 

If one in ignorance of the laws of Allah, without any intention to disobey Allah Subhanah, did not shave their hair after the Umrah pilgrimage nor cut it short, but had only a few clips of hair cut in three places…..as disliked as the act may be, the majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that The Lord Most Merciful, if He so Wills, will accept the pilgrimage of the believer, and one does not need to give a ‘damm’ or sacrifice as atonement.  And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Your Question: …...i forget to cut hairs three times in small quantities..........from first i have no intention to cut complete by blade of zero size machine just three times cut..........so please help what i can do i forget to cut the hairs before bath ( take out of ihram) may i hope soon u get me reply.

Respected brother, if you unintentionally forget to cut your hair after the Umrah pilgrimage, you should do so as soon as you remember it; and there is no atonement save that….it is expected that your Lord Most Gracious will accept your striving and will not diminish your rewards in the least, Insha Allah.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
