Question

I deeply honour your scholarly advice as I constantly follow your emails. My question today is:- I have heard from my friend that dread lock hairs symbolise satanic possession. Is it true by authentic Shari'ah?

Answer

If you research this and find that it is true then stop this at once and discourage others as well.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
