What is the ruling on women cutting their hair from the back and the front?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I ask you, O honorable Shaykh, about the ruling of the Shari'ah in your view regarding women cutting their hair from the back and the front?
The Shaykh : Do you want to cut the hair of women?
The questioner : Yes.
The questioner : Yes. The Hanbali jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that it is disliked for a woman to cut her hair from the front or the back, and it is not forbidden unless the cutting is extensive such that the woman's head becomes like a man's head. In that case, it becomes forbidden because a woman imitating a man is among the major sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. We return to a message sent by a listener of the program, Abu 'Abdullah from al-Qasim, who says in this question.
