The ruling on a man growing his hair long and whether it is part of the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a man growing his hair long? And is this considered part of the Sunnah?

Answer:
If he grows it long in the manner reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), by way of following him, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he grows it long in a manner other than the manner of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then it is not permissible.
