I have shoulder length hair.
Is it obligatory to get my head shaved bald?
The reason I ask is because of this verse who says one shouldn't shave the head until the offering is done:
> ... وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ ...
>
> ... And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. ...
>
> Quran 2:196
**Question:** Is it obligatory to shave the head when doing Hajj?
*As a bonus, if it is obligatory, would it always be obligatory to shave the head or would it only be the first time doing hajj, or every single time?*
