The answer

Among the mistakes in shaving or shortening the hair:

1. Shaving only part of the head, instead of the whole, with the intention of ' twice, which is due to ignorance.

2. Shortening only a few strands of hair from one side, which contradicts the apparent meaning of the verse: "with your heads shaved and [hair] shortened."

3. Undoing the and wearing regular clothes before shaving or shortening for someone who cannot find a barber. This is a grave mistake because exiting the state of ihram is not complete except by shaving or shortening the hair. Whoever does this out of ignorance must wear the ihram garments until they shave or shorten their hair, and then they can exit the state of ihram.
