Letting the hair hang down for men and cutting it short for women

Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for men to let their hair hang down below the shoulders, and for women to cut their hair short above the shoulders?

Answer:
Growing the hair on the head in the manner established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a recommended practice (sunnah). However, if this action contradicts the norms of the society and people look at it with surprise, then this is a recommended practice that one should not commit to, because people will look at him with surprise, as he will be suspected among them or considered strange among them. This is a recommended practice, not an obligation, so it is not necessary to perform it as part of fulfilling an obligation. This is a recommended practice in which one should consider that it does not result in harm to him. Yes.
