I would like to know if shaving the head bald is against the sunnah

Question

I would like to know if shaving the head bald is against the sunnah. This is not regarding after hajj, but just as a normal haircut?

Answer

It is not against the Sunnah to remove all the hair of the head. This was the normal practice and habit of Hadhrat Ali [radhiallaahu anhum].
