How does a woman shorten her hair for Umrah or Hajj? Is it required to take from all her hair, or is a single lock sufficient? Must she shorten it herself, or can another woman shorten it for her? And what is the best method for all of this?
It is best for a woman performing 'Umrah to gather her hair from the back and take an fingertip's length of it for exiting the state of ihram. It is sufficient to take from any part of the head. She can do this herself or delegate it to someone else.
