A woman cutting her hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on cutting hair, knowing that I do not intend to imitate men?
Answer:
If the hair is cut out of necessity, such as if it is long and the burden of carrying it or maintaining it is difficult for her, and she is advanced in age or ill, and the length of the hair is a burden to her, then there is no harm in shortening it, as some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did after his passing. As for cutting it without necessity, rather for the sake of a new fashion or seeking beauty, this is not recommended, and it should be left; because a woman’s beauty lies in keeping her hair. Yes.
