Bury the hair

CategoriesMiscellaneous [617]






It is mentioned in Sunan Baihaqi that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam has ordered to bury the hairs and nails. The hairs should be disposed of in a respectful way, as it is a part of a human being. (Tuhfatul Ahwazi P.40 V.8)


In regards to your question the hair should be either buried or disposed of in a respectful manner. One will be allowed to dispose of the hair by putting it in a bin as the rubbish eventually is burnt. However, one should not throw it in the toilet or let it sink through the bath plugholes, as there will be impurities there.
