913. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "May Allāh have mercy upon those who shaved" saying it one or two times, then he said: "And those who shortened." (Ṣaḥīh)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Ibn Umm Al-Ḥuṣain, Mārib, Abū Sa'eed, Abū Mariam, Ḥubshī bin Junādah, and Abū Hurairah.
He said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They prefer that a man shave his head, and if he shortens (his hair instead) then they consider that it is acceptable. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
All scholars agree that shaving of head is recommended and hair cutting (shortening of hair) is also approved. According to scholars, cutting the hair or shaving the head is a part of Umrah and Hajj, and without it Hajj or Umrah is not complete.
