The Ruling on a Woman Cutting Her Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman cuts her hair in a way that imitates disbelieving women or men, it is forbidden. But if there is no imitation of them, what is the ruling on that?

Answer:
It is nothing but imitation, and the one who calls for it is the one who imitates? There is no one who does it, but it may be done out of necessity, such as a sick woman who needs to cut her hair, or she is poor, and when hair grows long it requires expense, and if you do not have the means, she needs to cut it, so there is no harm, for necessity there is no harm, but for adornment it does not increase, because the adornment is in its remaining, and the adornment is not in cutting it, yes.
