Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5051
This narration says that Ibn Umar reported: “The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade Al-Qaza.” The provided translation explains Al-Qaza as shaving part of the head and leaving part. The hadith about Al-Qaza is easy to read because it gives a clear prohibition without a long story. It belongs to the topic of hair manners, but it is not a general comment on every haircut. It is about this named practice. The report also includes a note from Abu Abdur-Rahman about which version is closer to correctness, but the main translated teaching remains the prohibition of Al-Qaza. A careful explanation should keep that focus.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith states that Al-Qaza is forbidden.
- Al-Qaza is explained as shaving part of the head and leaving part.
- The report is about a named hair practice, not every hairstyle.
- The teaching should be kept close to the wording.
