Shaving the head of a female pilgrim in ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a very young girl enters the state of ihram, should her head be shaved?

The Shaykh:
If she enters ihram, what then?

The questioner:
With a very young girl.

The Shaykh:
A female does not shave, my brother. The head of a female is not shaved; it is only for the male. If a female has hair, whether she is old or young, she shortens it. She is only required to shorten it.
