Question Summary:
Question regarding cutting the hair unevenly and eating from a grill in which machine slaughtered chicken was cooked.

Question Detail:

 
 
I have two questions :
 
1) Can i have a haircut of two lengths?  For example number 2 on the sides and back and cut on top?
http://askimam.org/public/question_detail/19732   , i know there is advice already given but it does not seem clear to me. 
 
2) Can we eat of the same grill that machine cut chicken is cooked?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
1)     In principle, there two factors that render a haircut impermissible:
a)     Qaza’: this is when the head has been partially shaved. [1]
b)    Imitating transgressors and disbelievers: this is when a particular haircut is specifically associated with any un-Islamic group. [2]
You enquire about a hairstyle that has two lengths, the first length being a number two on the sides and back and the second length being a scissor cut on the top. While there is no qaza’ involved in this, the procedure is very similar to haircuts in vogue and style. We therefore advice against such a haircut.
2)     You may eat food made with the grill in reference if it has been thoroughly cleaning with water after the machine slaughtered chicken was cooked on it.[3]  
However, when going to a restaurant which cooks machine slaughtered chicken, one should avoid eating food which is cooked using the same equipment due the strong possibility of contamination.
