Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is lengthening the hair on the head, he says, is it from the Sunnah?
Answer:
If he lengthens it in the manner of the head of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and follows the Messenger, then this is a recommended practice (sunnah). But if he lengthens it as a fashion for young men, or following so-and-so or so-and-so, then this is not permissible.
