A man tying his long hair at the back

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a man tying his long hair at the back like a horse's tail, since this is considered imitating women in some societies? Is it permissible for him to do so?

The Shaykh:
Even for women, it is not permissible to tie their hair at the back and make it like a horse's tail; it is not permissible. She should make it into braids on the sides; that is what is prescribed. So what about the man? The man does not do this. Yes.

The questioner:
My brother, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Tresses or braids, yes.
