The Ruling on a Woman Shaving or Cutting Her Hair in the Manner of Men

Question:
We have a question about cutting hair and shaving it during a woman’s menstrual period. Is it permissible or not? He wants to cut the hair on his head. I do not know how it is intended. Yes, how is it intended? Cutting the hair on the head and shaving it as well.

Answer:
Shaving it is forbidden without a doubt. It is not permissible for her to shave her head except for a medical treatment. During menstruation or otherwise? During menstruation or otherwise. Except for a treatment that requires shaving it or shaving part of it, where the treatment depends on that. Yes. This is a dispensation. As for shaving it for other than treatment, it is haram (forbidden) by consensus. That is the ruling. Good.
And the woman was commanded, when exiting the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, to take from her head the amount of a finger’s width, the amount of a finger’s width, ah.
Likewise, cutting it in a way that resembles a man’s head is haram (forbidden) in the first place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men and the men who imitate women. So if she cuts it in a shape that resembles a man’s head, this is severely forbidden, and she is cursed for her action because she is imitating men. As for cutting it to less than that, cutting it to below the shoulders. Yes.
So if there is a need, such as if it is long and she cannot manage it, and it is difficult for her, there is no harm in shearing it for the need, as the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Thank you.
And its loss. Unless it is merely for adornment, imitation, and resembling the disbelieving women, then it is not permissible. Because the beauty of the woman is in her hair and in the keeping of her hair. Good. Yes. May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
