Amount of hair to be trimmed after umrah

Q: How much hair should be trimmed after umrah before hajj? Can it be just trimmed in a few places from the head?

A: It is compulsory for one to cut at least quarter of the hair of his entire head in order for one to come out of ihraam. If one cut less than quarter, one will not come out of the state of ihraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
