Is it permissible for a woman to cut and dye her hair at her husband's request?

Question:
This is a question, and it appears to be from a woman, saying that her husband requires her to cut her hair in styles he desires and to dye it. She says: Do not obey my husband.

Answer:
This is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no obedience to any created being in disobedience to the Creator. A woman preserves her hair because it is her beauty, and cutting it is imitating the disbelievers. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, it is not permissible to cut the hair, nor to adopt these styles. If she cuts her hair and exaggerates until she makes it like a man's hair, this is forbidden because it is imitating men. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men, and he cursed the men who imitate women.
