The Five Pillars of Islam – First Pillar: Shahadah (Kalimah Tayyibah)
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.
