A woman taking from the hair of her head

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding a woman, is it permissible for her to cut the hair on her head?

The Shaykh:
Regarding what?

The questioner:
For a woman, is it permissible for her to cut the hair on her head?

The Shaykh:
Do you mean a woman in the state of ihram? No. No, it is not permissible for her to cut the hair on her head. It is not permissible for her to cut her hair except for the rites of Hajj or 'Umrah; she takes the length of a finger's breadth. The Lawgiver specified it as the length of a finger's breadth. This indicates that a woman preserves the hair on her head because it is her beauty and adornment. She does not cut it except for the purpose of exiting the state of ihram, to the length of a finger's breadth. Yes.
