Fakhr-e-Alam, Wasim Akram, and Misbah-ul-Haq have addressed criticism over not shaving their heads during Hajj. Fakhr-e-Alam explained that they consulted scholars who advised that trimming hair was sufficient and that shaving was not obligatory in their situation.
He also responded to comments suggesting the pilgrimage was being treated lightly, emphasizing that Hajj is a deeply spiritual 24-hour journey where every moment—from worship to daily interactions—holds significance and meaning.
