Question

Is it permissible in Islam for a woman to cut her hairs as she wishes, or as a fashìon or just because her husband wishes. What is the proper way of cutting the hair?

Answer

The demand of shariah and the wish of Allah Ta`ala is foremost. This action is forbidden.

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.
