Question

Her hair currently stretches all the way to her lower back.

Answer

It is not permissible to cut the hair of a female for no valid reason in Shari'ah. Somewhere on this site, search 'Women cut their hair' (without quotes).

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
