Shaving or trimming the hair for an adult
Question
Does an adult male have to shave his hair completely or use a machine?
Answer
It is equally the same to shave one’s hair or trim it using a machine. Both are permissible without any abhorrence. [Re: Kitaab-un-Nawaazil Vol:15 Pg:504, Fataawa Darul Uloom Zakariyyah Vol:7 Pg:345-346]
