Answer
It is permissible to shave the back of the neck, not the back of the head. The neck begins from below the earlobes. (Ahsanul Fataawa vol.8 pg.76; HM Saeed)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
