Is it permissible for a person in a state of Ihram to shave his own head or to cut the hair of another?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not a condition for shaving or shortening that another person perform it. It is permissible for the pilgrim (Hajj or Umrah) to do it himself. It is also permissible for a person in a state of ihram to shorten or shave for another person in a state of ihram who wishes to exit ihram.
