The ruling on a woman cutting her hair above the shoulder

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to cut her hair above the shoulder?

Answer:
Leaving it is better; because it is beauty for her, but if there is a need to take it, to take from its length; then there is no harm in that, for it is established that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he passed away; took from the length of their hair, yes.

The presenter : Yes, so: this is permissible.

The Shaykh : In case of need, if she sees the benefit in that, and her husband permits her if she has a husband, yes.
