What is the ruling on a woman cutting her hair out of necessity?

Question:
The questioner: Your Eminence, this is a caller to the program who says: A woman was afflicted with the evil eye because of the beauty of her hair, and the long hair has come to harm her. So every month she is forced to cut it down to the beginning of her neck, below the ear. What is the ruling on this cutting? And what should she do, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
The Shaykh: If the need calls for this, there is nothing wrong with it; the Mothers of the Believers, the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, they cut from their heads, lightening it because of the burden of combing it, tying it, and the like. So if she cuts from it for the benefit that it is harming her and hurting her, there is no blame on her. But she should not cut it to imitate men, or to imitate disbelieving women. No, if she cuts from her head because of hardship or fatigue, there is nothing wrong with it.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
