Is it permissible for a woman to cut her hair to beautify herself for her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message that reached the program from one of the female listeners. She says: From al-Hawtah, she asks: Is it permissible for a woman to cut her hair from the front or the back, whether to beautify herself for her husband or for other reasons? And is it permissible for her to cut it while she is menstruating? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: Leaving the hair long is preferable, because hair is beauty, the head is beauty, and its length is beauty. However, if necessity or adornment calls for cutting some of it, there is nothing wrong with it. It is established that when the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lost him (peace and blessings be upon him), they cut some of their hair to relieve themselves of some of the burden. So if she cuts it for beauty or to relieve herself of the burden and fatigue, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is with the intention of imitating disbelieving women, no; or imitating men, no. But if she cuts it as adornment for her husband, or because its length bothers her so she lightens it, there is no blame on her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
