Main Page Hajj Rituals > Haircut Or Shaving > Details Having One's Hair Cut or Shaved It is desirable for men to hold their forelocks with their own hands while shaving their hair, and to glorify Allah (saying: Allah-u-akbar) three times, and then to say, "Praise be to Allah as He has guided us, and as He has granted (so many graces) to us. O Allah! this is my forelock, I beg you to accept what I am doing, and to forgive my sins. O Allah! forgive me and both those who got their hair shaved and cut. O You! Who forgives every thing. Amen." And when he finishes shaving, he would glorify Allah (say: Allah-u-akbar) three times, and would say, "Praise be to Allah who fulfilled - for us - our rituals. O Allah! increase our Faith, certainty (about You), success and aid (received from You). And forgive us, our fathers, mothers, and all Muslims."
