ਸਤਿਕਾਰ ਯੋਗ ਵੀਰ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀ,
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।।
You have asked a question whether a person who cuts hair can be called a Sikh?
Sikh is a Seeker of Truth and is a student. By imbibing teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, he has to become Khalsa i.e. Akalpurakh’s own. Perhaps, you may be aware that Khalsa is a Persian word which means King’s own land.
Please read two Pangtis of Shabad of Fifth Guru Person Guru Arjun Sahib in Raag Maru, which is located at Panna 1083-84 of Guru Granth Sahib. In this Guru Sahib is teaching us that one is not to disturb what Akalpurakh has given to us. Rather, keeping it as it is a way to get respect.
Now, the person who cuts hair and shaves beard, has not imbibed the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib and has failed as a student. Therefore, can he/she be called a Sikh? In undersigned’s opinion no.
Further, he/she will keep on fighting with Akalpurakh also in his/her entire life. By doing so, can he/she become Akalpurakh’s own? So, he/she will be neither here nor there. Please think about it.
If you have any further questions please do ask. If you find any deficiencies please point out the same for improvement in the future.
Regards,
Your Brother

ਨਾਪਾਕ ਪਾਕੁ ਕਰਿ ਹਦੂਰਿ ਹਦੀਸਾ ਸਾਬਤ ਸੂਰਤਿ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸਿਰਾ ॥੧੨॥ {ਪੰਨਾ 1084}
ਪਦ ਅਰਥ: ਸਾਬਤ ਸੂਰਤਿ = (ਸੁੰਨਤਿ, ਲਬਾਂ ਕੱਟਣ ਆਦਿਕ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਰਹ ਨਾਹ ਕਰ ਕੇ) ਸਰੀਰ ਨੂੰ ਜਿਉਂ ਕਾ ਤਿਉਂ ਰੱਖਣਾ। ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸਿਰਾ = ਸਿਰ ਉਤੇ ਦਸਤਾਰ (ਦਾ ਕਾਰਨ ਬਣਦੀ ਹੈ) , ਇੱਜ਼ਤ-ਆਦਰ ਦਾ ਵਸੀਲਾ ਹੈ।12।
ਅਰਥ: (ਸੁੰਨਤਿ, ਲਬਾਂ ਕਟਾਣ ਆਦਿਕ ਸ਼ਰਹ ਨੂੰ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ) ਆਪਣੀ ਸ਼ਕਲ ਨੂੰ ਜਿਉਂ ਕਾ ਤਿਉਂ ਰੱਖ = ਇਹ (ਲੋਕ ਪਰਲੋਕ ਵਿਚ) ਇੱਜ਼ਤ-ਆਦਰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਵਸੀਲਾ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।12।

Anyone who says I am Sikh, doesn’t matter about which 5Ks they have or haven’t, in my humble opinion is Sikh. A Sikh has direct link with IkOnkar without any obstacles, so please. I say I am Sikh please don’t judge my relationship with IkOnkar, Only IkOnkar will judge.
