WHAT THE PROPHET SAID FOR THIS STYLE OF BARBING
In the name of Allah the beneficent the compassionate the merciful.
Cutting of the hair in Islam
Islam is the most comprehensive religion in the whole world and any Islamic believers is not allwoed to practice the religion of Islam with ignorance,that is without knowledge of what he or she is doing, that is why Allah reveal Qur’an as a guidance and sent his prophet whom he has bestwoed purity in his heart and he was the most kind leaner and just amongst all the creations to be Allah’s inter media by explaining what Allah has sent down to him and also commanded the believers to abstain from what will deviate them to wrong way.
The prophet of Allah while addressing mankind he expresses some of the things he will focus and he said
“I was sent to full field good character”
The life of the prophet is a good example to be followed of good character well discipline and profound of excellent morality as Allah said in the Qur’an
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا (21)
“Verily in the character of the prophet there are good examples of morals to be follwoed”
This is a general commandments by Allah to all mankind in order to learn excellent character from the life of the prophet through following his teaching and practicing it in Action,
Hwoever when Nana Aisha (RA) was asked about the character of the prophet she says:
“All the character of the prophet is the Qur’an, all what Allah ordain the prophet does and what Allah forbidden he abstain from it.
The concept cutting of the hair"
Barbing of the hair simply means to remove the hair of one’s head completely without making any decoration or designing it.
It can also be seen as the process of arranging oneself hair in order to beautify him.
Islam has ordain how person should barb his hair in line with the teaching of Islam as it was prescribe by the seal of all the prophet peace be upon him.
In shari’ah context
Barbing of the hair is process of cutting the hair all without cutting some segment of the hair either for passion or for decoration.
However today there are different styles of cutting the hair which contradict the teaching of Islam by people of our era which they take it as passion due to the illusion of this worthy world of ours and people make it to be a civilisation, by which they learn from western Views and left the main civilisation that they history of the world testified the vital role of Islam toward its own civilization.
After knowing the main aim of western civilisation is to go against the teaching of Islam, Some Muslims find it difficult to study Islamic civilisation and the teaching of our noble prophet rather we allowed the orientalist to intervene and change the teaching of Islam if it contradict with their view.
However Nana Aisha may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon her, reported to have says: the prophet of Allah is over whelmed with starting everything with right part in his wearing of shoes while cutting his hair and in everything he does he start with the right parts” this hadith was agreed upon.
Likewise the prophet of Allah prohibited the cutting of the hair such as Punk, Gallas, Ballotelli,etc
.
عن ابن عُمر رضي اللَّه عنهُما قَالَ: نَ هَى رسُولُ اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم عنِ القَزعِ. متفق عَلَيْهِ
It was reported on the authority of Ibn Umar may Allah be pleased with him says: the prophet Caution those who cut segment of their hair and left other parts of the hair. Agreed upon
It was also reported on the authority of Ibn Umar may Allah be pleased with his said:
وعَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأى رَسُولُ اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم صبِياً قَدْ حُلِقَ بعْضُ شَعْر رأسِهِ وتُرِكَ بعْضُهُ، فَنَهَاهَمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَال:"احْلِقُوهُ كُلَّهُ أَوِ اتْرُكُوهُ كُلَّهُ".
“ The messenger of Allah saw a small boy, verily he cut some part of his hair and left some part of the hair the prophet caution that and said “Remove it all or live all the hair” Agreed upon
From the above two authentic hadith of the prophet we can understand the stand of Islam upon the cutting of the hair by which its totally prohibited to cut some segment of the hair it’s against the teaching of our noble prophet.
My brother in Islam please I have a question for you “If and individual died while having Gallas , Punk and Ballotelli, etc in His head did they use to barb his head before taking him to his grave according to Islam?
The answer is Capital NO which means no, and what answer will you provide to almighty Allah after knowing it’s prohibited in Islam?
It’s not a reason to say you don’t know, why you cannot search for knowledge before practicing any deeds, But to make it in concise you have no way out because the prophet at the initial stage has worn us and said in one of his hadith
“Woe to those who said they don’t know,” and "Woe to those who known and refused to act upon what they has knowledge over it".
Finally Allah’s blessing are treasure their value can never be major ,in a nut shell the door of Allah’s mercy and pardon is always open to every person who want to repent from the bad deeds to correct his mistake forever because Allah is the most merciful and love those who repent to him’
The prophet of Allah reported to have said:In surah 2 verse 222
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ (222)
“Certainly Allah love those who repent to him and those who purified themselves” (To be abstain from shirk) They way to repent is ordained by Allah to make it easy for and individual to attained the mercy and pleasure of Allah that is paradise.
