Ruling on a woman cutting her hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on cutting the hair from the front, meaning: a fringe on the face? Because I heard that this is imitating the Jews and Christians? And if my intention is good, for the sake of beautification, and there is no way to imitate them, since actions are by intentions, would I be sinful?
Answer:
Cutting the hair, if it is for a benefit and does not involve imitating disbelieving women, is permissible. If she has a husband, she must take his satisfaction into consideration. However, if the cutting involves imitating disbelieving women, it is not permissible. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) It is also established from the Mothers of the Believers, the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that after his death, they cut their hair to lighten it.
