The ruling on a woman cutting her hair to lighten it

Question:
I read in Sahih Muslim, in the chapter on washing the funeral shroud, that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cut their hair. However, we have heard that it is not permissible for a woman to cut her hair out of fear of the funeral washing and for the sake of cleanliness, knowing that a woman cuts her hair for cleanliness and to adorn herself for her husband, not to imitate the disbelieving women, as was said.

Answer:
There is no harm in lightening it; if she cuts some of it to lighten it, there is no harm, in order to lighten the burden of washing it, combing it, and its tangles. For this reason, one of them would cut some of their hair after their death to lighten it. However, if she has a husband, she should consult him, because hair is beauty. She should consult her husband so that no problems arise between them. As for if she has no husband, or if her husband is satisfied, there is no harm in her lightening her hair.
