Ruling on a woman cutting her head hair and wearing the hijab from the back
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message reached us from the sender, Dalal Muhammad al-Maghribi, from ..... She asks several questions, saying: Is cutting the hair from the front forbidden? What is the ruling on wearing the hijab from the back?
Answer: We do not know of anything specific regarding this, but it is better for a woman to keep her hair; because it is part of her adornment and beauty. However, there is no harm in lightening the hair and taking some of it, or shortening it, if Allah wills. But it is better and more preferable for it to remain complete; because of the beauty and adornment it provides for a woman, especially a married woman. So if she takes some of it and cuts some of it, there is no harm in that.
And likewise, the hijab, whether from the back or from the front, there is no harm in it if the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) is preserved. The important thing is preserving the 'awrah, caring for the 'awrah, and covering it. However, it is better for it to be from the front. And if it is from the back, we do not know of any harm in it, provided that the 'awrah is covered from the front and from the back.
