The extent of a woman's shortening of her hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is obligatory for a woman regarding shortening her hair, and from which part of her head does she shorten it?

Answer:
If her head is open, she should take a little from the hair that grows on the top of her head. If her head is covered, she should gather it and take a little from the ends. The man is the same; he takes from the ends of his hair, and if he shaves it, that is better. Yes.
