Taqsīr ({{ia|التَقصير}}) is one the obligations of [[hajj]] and [['umra]]. Taqsir involves cutting some strands of the hair from head, beard, mustache, or alternatively one may cut a nail of hand or foot. It is the fifth obligation of 'umra. In 'umra al-tamattu' it is obligatory for a person to perform taqsir after finishing [[sa'y]].  
Taqsīr ({{ia|التَقصير}}) is one the obligations of [[hajj]] and [['umra]]. Taqsir involves cutting some strands of the hair from head, beard, mustache, or alternatively one may cut a nail of hand or foot. It is the fifth obligation of 'umra. In 'umra al-tamattu' it is obligatory for a person to perform taqsir (he is not permitted to perform [[halq]]) after finishing [[sa'y]].  


Taqsir, like other rituals is an act of worship in 'umra. So, it is obligatory that one should make intention just as intention for ihram is made.  
Taqsir, like other rituals is an act of worship in 'umra. So, it is obligatory that one should make the right [[intention]].  


[[Halq]] (shaving head) is not permissible, nor sufficient to exit the state of ihram in [['umra al-tamattu']]. One must perform taqsir so as to complete 'umra al-tamattu' and exit the state of [[ihram]]. If a person shaves his head purposely and knowingly before or after taqsir he/she must slaughter a sheep as [[kaffara]]. But, if he has entered ihram for [[al-'umra al-mufrada]], he can choose between shaving head and doing taqsir.
