Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to cut her hair or cut some of it?
Answer:
She may cut some of her hair if she intends to lighten it or beautify herself, and if she has a husband, she must have his consent, without the intention of imitating disbelieving women, but with the intention of adorning herself for her husband, or because it has become the custom in her country, without imitating disbelieving women; in that case, there is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing in the Sunnah indicating that cutting hair is forbidden. It is established that the Mothers of the Believers, the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), cut their hair after his death to relieve themselves of some burden.
