Muwatta Malik: Book 20, Hadith 201

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar once met a relative of his called al-Mujabbar who had done the tawaf al-ifada but, out of ignorance, had not shaved his head or cut his hair. Abdullah told him to go back and shave his head or cut his hair, and then go back and do the tawaf al-ifada.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُجَبَّرُ قَدْ أَفَاضَ وَلَمْ يَحْلِقْ وَلَمْ يُقَصِّرْ جَهِلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيَحْلِقَ أَوْ يُقَصِّرَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَيُفِيضَ ‏.‏
