Summary
A pilgrim is permitted to shave or trim another pilgrim's hair before doing so for himself or herself. However, it is more fitting and more virtuous to shave or trim one's own hair first before doing it for others. The ruling links this preference to the encouragement to race towards good deeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
