Ruling on a woman cutting her hair and dyeing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to cut her hair, or to put some dye on it, for the purpose of beautifying herself for her husband?
Answer:
Cutting the hair varies: if it is with the intention of imitating the enemies of Allah, it is not permissible; imitating the disbelieving women is not permissible. However, if it is for the sake of lightening and beauty, with the consent and approval of her husband, there is nothing wrong with lightening the hair.
As for dyes, there is no objection to dyeing with anything other than black. As for black, it is not permissible; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. So the prohibition of dyeing with black is the well-known position from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for red or yellow, there is nothing wrong with that.
