Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife cuts her hair and exaggerates in cutting it. He says: I have forbidden her from doing so, and told her that she must obey me, but she responds that this is a personal freedom and that I am intruding into her privacy. He says: What is your guidance for me and for her in this matter, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
Yes, this is an issue that has now spread among people: freedom, freedom of opinion, freedom of expression, freedom of actions. The meaning of freedom is within the limits of the Shari'ah; freedom within the limits of the Shari'ah. As for freedom that exceeds the limits of the Shari'ah, it is prohibited and invalid. We are the servants of Allah, Muslims, and we comply with the commands of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
