Súriy-i-Hajj I
From Bahai9
The law of shaving one's head, formerly enjoined by Bahá'u'lláh for pilgrimage in the Súriy-i-Hajj, is now lifted[edit]
"QUESTION: Shaving the head hath been forbidden in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas but enjoined in the Súriy-i-Hájj.
"ANSWER: All are charged with obedience to the Kitáb-i-Aqdas; whatsoever is revealed therein is the Law of God amid His servants. The injunction on pilgrims to the sacred House to shave the head hath been lifted."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, Questions and Answers of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, no. 10)
"In some religious traditions it is considered desirable to shave one's head. The shaving of the head is forbidden by Bahá'u'lláh, and He makes it clear that the provision contained in His Súriy-i-Hájj requiring pilgrims to the Holy House in Shíráz to shave their heads has been superseded through this verse of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas (Q and A 10)."
