Women cutting her hair for medical reasons
Question
I suffer from alopecia. I go for steroid injections in my head every 6 weeks. I was advised to cut my long hair short and apply black olive oil to stimulate hair growth. Is it permissible for me to do so?
Answer
It is permissible.
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.
