The questioner: Correcting... on the basis that it is equal, meaning regular.
The Shaykh: If the motive for doing so is not imitating the disbelieving women or the sinful women, there is no harm, because in "Sahih Muslim" it is stated: "The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to cut their hair until it was like a tuft."
