A woman cutting her long hair to the length of her ears

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some women find it difficult to take care of their long hair, so they cut it short to the length of their ears or like men. Is this permissible?

Answer:
Like men, it is not permissible; it is forbidden for a woman to imitate men. As for cutting it out of necessity, if it is cut for a need, there is no harm in that. Yes.
