Summary
Shaving part of the hair while leaving the rest falls under qaza', which is discouraged by Islamic law as makruh rather than haram. According to Imam al-Nawawi, scholars are agreed that qaza' on separate parts of the head is makruh tanzih, except for medical purposes such as cupping. The prohibition applies to both men and women.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami cenderung bahawa perbuatan ini termasuk dalam makna qaza` yang dilarang Syarak secara makruh.
