The Ruling on a Woman Cutting Her Hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is your opinion on a woman cutting her hair and leaving half of it? What is your opinion on that?
Answer:
It is better that she not cut her hair, but leave it, because it is beauty and adornment for Allah. Except if it becomes very long and she takes from its ends, because it harms and inconveniences her. If it is very long and she takes from its ends, it is narrated from the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they took from its ends after his death (peace and blessings be upon him), if it was long and caused them harm in combing it and brushing it and the like. As for imitating men, no. Or imitating the enemies of Allah among women, no.
