Summary
Performing tahallul by pulling out the hair directly without any tool is valid and permissible. The condition is that at least three hairs are removed. The evidence on this matter is general and does not fix a specific method, so any way of removing the hair that fulfils the purpose is accepted. Even so, pilgrims are advised to use scissors or a razor for ease, since pulling out the hair may cause difficulty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya adalah sah dengan syarat rambut yang dicabut itu tidak kurang daripada tiga helai kerana hasil tahallul dengan menanggalkan rambut dengan apa jua cara sekalipun.
