Answer:

(Fatwa: 1148/1087=B/1430)

It is not necessary to shave head after Umrah, rather it is permissible to trim the hair to wajib extent:

کما في صحیح البخاري: أن النبي علیہ السلام أذن لأصحابہ أن یجعلوھا عمرۃ یطوفوا ثم یقصروا ویحلوا إلا من کان معہ الھدي (رقم الحدیث /2402:239)

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
