Is the head of a female shaved on the seventh day like that of a male?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the head of a female shaved on the seventh day like that of a male?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to shave the head of a female. It is not permissible to shave the head of a female except for an illness. Shaving is specific to males. And whoever shaves her head has earned the curse, because this is imitating males. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men. For this reason, in Hajj and 'Umrah, it is sufficient for her to take from her hair the length of a finger joint, the length of a finger joint, so that she does not cut much from it, but only the length of a finger joint. This indicates that the female is required to keep her hair, because it is her beauty, and so that she does not imitate males. Yes.
