Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am asking about cutting the hair from the front of the head and combing it back; is it lawful or forbidden? If this is forbidden, I ask you to inform me and guide me to the right path, knowing that, Honorable Shaykh, I comb my hair back without cutting it. If the intended meaning of cutting is the cutting of the eyebrows, then the better and more desirable option is to leave the hair as it is, because it is the beauty of the woman. As for cutting it, it diminishes it and disfigures it, and it involves imitating non-Muslim women. As for combing the hair, there is no harm in combing it, parting it in the middle, and doing whatever is best for it, provided there is no imitation of disbelieving women. Yes.
Answer:

As for straightening the hair, there is no harm in combing it, parting it in the middle, and doing whatever is best for it, provided there is no imitation of disbelieving women. Yes.
