Performing Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah after Shaving the Head

Q: Is it waajib for a haaji to perform the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah after shaving his head?

A: It is not waajib, but sunnah for a haaji to perform the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah after shaving his head. If the haaji performs the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah before shaving his head, the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah will be valid. However, it will be makrooh for one to do so as one will be performing the tawaaf against the sunnah tarteeb (sequence).

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