The questioner : Her second question: Is it permissible for a woman to have a side part, or is it forbidden?
The Shaykh : I do not envision a side part, but if the meaning is parting the hair on one side.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then that is contrary to the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is to part the hair in the middle so that the hair is equal on both sides.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : On the right side and on the left side. This is what a woman should do. As for parting it on one side, that is not recommended, especially if it entails imitating non-Muslim women, in which case it becomes forbidden.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
