Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, saying: What is the ruling on a woman cutting her hair?
Answer:
It is not permissible; it is not permissible for her to cut her hair. She is not required to do so, not even in Hajj or 'Umrah. She is only required to cut the length of a finger's width from the tips of her braids or hair, just that much. As for cutting it for the sake of adornment, that is not permissible. Yes.
