Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a woman cutting her hair from the front for the purpose of adornment, and not for imitating disbelieving women? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
A woman keeps all of her hair and does not cut any of it, neither from the front nor from any other side, but she keeps it because it is her beauty. And his statement that there is no imitation in it is not correct. These fashions did not come to us except from the outside, so it is imitation in any case, because it was not the custom of the Muslims to cut hair; women cutting their head hair was not among the customs of the Muslims. Until the customs of the disbelievers came to us, and some Muslims, men and women, imitated them. This is imitation. Yes.
