What does "Halq or Taqsir" refer to in Hajj rituals?
Explanation
Halq means shaving the head (for men — which is preferable) and Taqsir means trimming the hair (an alternative for men, and the only option for women). Both mark partial or full exit from the state of Ihram.
Reference: Five Pillars of Islam Notes , Page 5
Hint
Halq = complete shave (men); Taqsir = trim (men alternative/women only option).
