The Ruling on a Woman Cutting Her Hair

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 not permissible except for imitation, and what is the cause of the imitation? There is no doer, but it may be for a need, such as a sick woman who needs to cut her hair, or she is poor, and long hair requires expense, and if you do not have all the expense, she needs to cut it, so there is no harm, for a need there is no harm, but for adornment it does not increase, because the adornment is in its remaining, and the adornment is not in its cutting, yes.
