Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on opening a women's hair salon, with the guarantee that there will be no plucking of the eyebrows or imitating men?

Answer:
Cutting women's hair is not permissible. It is not permissible. If it is for adornment and beautification, it is not permissible, because the adornment lies in keeping it and maintaining it. This cutting only occurred as an imitation of disbelieving women and new fashions. Otherwise, Muslim women would keep their hair and take care of beautifying it and caring for it. This is what the women of the Muslims used to do. Therefore, cutting is not permissible except if it is for a need, such as for a sick woman or an elderly woman whose hair is heavy and she wants to lighten it. If it is for a need, it is not permissible. If it is for adornment, the adornment is in keeping it, not in cutting it. Consequently, it is not permissible to open a shop for this purpose. Yes.
