Ruling on a woman cutting the front of her head hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: From Al-Qassim, Al-Ayn, a message arrived from one of the female listeners, (Dr. M. A.), our sister has about eight questions. In her first question, she asks: What is the ruling on a woman cutting the front of her head hair?
The answer: We do not know of any harm in that. If she has a husband, she should consult him so that he does not dislike it. Lightening the hair is permissible, provided that this is not done with the intention of imitating disbelieving women, and provided that it does not go against the husband’s wishes if she has a husband. Rather, she should submit to her husband and consult him about it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you. In any case, it may reach the state of disbelieving women, Your Eminence, but what is the basis for this?
The Shaykh: As for the light amount that does not involve imitating disbelieving women, there is no harm. But if the intention is to imitate disbelieving women, or if the act resembles that of disbelieving women, it is not permissible.
The presenter: But does that not differ based on intention or something like that, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: It must, it must, if the intention is that. But if it happens to be so, and she did not intend that, but she and her husband considered it a matter of beauty and adornment, then there is no blame on her.
The presenter: And if it happens to be so...?
The Shaykh: And if it happens to be so, but one should not intentionally do that, intentionally imitating disbelieving women.
The presenter: May Allah reward you. Yes.
The answer: We do not know of any harm in that. If she has a husband, she should consult him so that he does not dislike it. Lightening the hair is permissible, provided that this is not done with the intention of imitating disbelieving women, and provided that it does not go against the husband’s wishes if she has a husband. Rather, she should submit to her husband and consult him about it. Yes.
