Ruling on a woman cutting some of her hair

Question:
We move on to the letter from the questioner (R. M. H.) from al-Qassim, who says: Is it forbidden for a woman to cut her hair from the back or from the front? We ask you to provide us with information.

Answer:
There is a consideration regarding cutting. However, if the hair is long and burdensome for the woman, there is no harm in her taking from its ends to lighten it, cutting from the ends. It is established that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cut from the ends of their hair due to its abundance when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, for the sake of lightening it.
So if there is hardship, and she takes from the ends to lighten it, there is no harm. However, taking from a specific part is disliked, such as taking from the forelock, or from one side, or from the nape; because this resembles qaza' (shaving patches from the head), and qaza' is taking part of the head and leaving part of it, shaving some of it and leaving some. This is prohibited. Therefore, it is better and safer for the woman to cut some and leave some, leaving this (practice) is preferable and safer; because it resembles qaza'. Yes.
