The ruling on a woman cutting her hair and wearing an abaya with sleeves and embroidery

Question:
This is a woman asking: What is the ruling on a woman cutting her hair to above the neck? And what is the ruling on wearing an abaya with sleeves and an embroidered abaya?

Answer:
Cutting the hair is a form of imitating the style of the hair, and it is not permissible. The beauty of a woman lies in keeping her hair and its locks. This cutting only came with modern fashion and imitating foreign women, and what they see in magazines of pictures of Western women, or on satellite channels, so they want to imitate these women. First, this is a waste of the hair in which her beauty lies, and second, it is imitating disbelieving women or open sinners, so this matter is not permissible, and the woman should preserve her hair.
Therefore, when she exits the state of ihram from her Hajj or 'Umrah, she is required to cut the length of a finger from the tips of her hair, the length of a finger. This indicates that the woman preserves her hair and does not cut it. So the woman should leave this bad habit and this blind imitation.
As for the abaya, the abaya was made for covering, and not for adornment or for imitation. So the abaya should not have open sleeves from which her hands come out, and it should not be embroidered and decorated, because it is not suitable for covering, but rather it is suitable for a woman's display of her adornment, so this is not permissible. Yes.
