The answer is yes. All mammals have some hair or fur, even if it's only a small amount in their nostrils like dolphins. Even so called hairless animals such as the Mexican dog and the hairless cat aren't actually hairless.

Not all mammals have fur. Marine mammals such as dolphins and whales do not have fur. However, all mammals have fur, hair or skin.
Not all mammals have fur, but every mammal had, has, or will have hair in their lifetime. That is part of what makes a mammal a mammal.
