Commentary and footnotes (2)
Note 3
(3) The statement: "Shave it all or leave it all": This indicates that shaving outside of Hajj and Umrah is permissible, and a man has the choice between shaving and leaving it. However, the principle is not to shave except during one of the rituals, as was the practice of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them), except for Ali (may Allah ennoble his face). Thus, it is stated in Al-Mirqat.
Note 3
(٣) قوله: احلقوا كله أو اتركوا كله: فيه إشارة إلى أن الحلق في غير الحج والعمرة جائز، وأن الرجل مخيَر بين الحلقوتركه، لكن الأصل أن لا يحلق إلا في أحد النسكين، كما كان عليه صلي الله عليه واله وسلم لم مع أصحابه رضي الله عنهم، وانفرد منهم علي كرم اللّٰهوجهه. كذا في (المرقاة).
