    Shaving the head, or **halq**, is not obligatory for Umrah, but it is one of the recommended acts for men upon completing the pilgrimage rituals. Men have the option to either shave their heads completely (halq) or to cut their hair short (taqsir). Women, on the other hand, are only required to trim a small portion of their hair, typically a fingertip’s length.

    Both halq and taqsir are acts of devotion and a symbolic gesture of renewal and humility before Allah. While shaving the head is considered more virtuous, cutting the hair short is also acceptable and fulfills the requirement for completing the Umrah rituals.

    “It’s not permissible in Islam for a Muslim to eat pork. If you accidentally eat pork, you should repent and, if possible, try to vomit the food. This is based on an incident involving Hasan (RA) when he ate dates from the group of zakat. The Prophet made him vomit the food, which indicates this practice. The hadith states: ‘Hasan took some dates from the dates of charity and placed them in his mouth. Rasulullah (salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) instructed him to take them out of his mouth and said, “Do you not know, we the Ahlul Bayt do not eat of charity?”

    In Islam, the belief that ringing in the ears is a sign of a good or bad omen has no basis. The teachings of Islam are that Muslims should trust Allah and avoid these types of superstitions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared belief in evil omens to be false and considered it a form of polytheism.

    If someone experiences ringing in their ears or similar occurrences, they should not interpret it as a sign to proceed or refrain from their plans.

    Instead, Muslims are encouraged to recite the following Dua:

    Allahumma la yuti bil-hasanat illa anta wa la yadfa as-sayiat illa anta, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa bika

    Only trust in Allah and superstition have no place in Islamic teachings.
