Note 1
(1) The statement: "I will not cut it" etc.: This indicates that a braid is permissible for a boy if it is with other hair on the head. But if all his hair is shaved, leaving only a braid, that is the partial shaving prohibited by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Thus, it is stated in Bazl al-Majhood.

(١) قوله: لا أجزها إلخ: فيه أن الذؤابة إنما يجوز اتخاذها لغلام إذا كانت مع غيرها من الشعور التي في الرأس. وأما إذاحلق شعره كله، وترك له ذؤابة فهو القزع التي نهى عنه رسول اللّٰه صلي الله عليه واله وسلم . كذا في(بذل المجهود).
