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?*
