Harms of young boys growing long hair
Question
Are there any guidelines or ruling regarding minor boys growing long hair?
Answer
Generally our senior ulama discourage this on account of the abundance of fitnah all around. One is that they are beardless and have long hair. Many a time their faces are girlish and they can become victims of abuse. This happens very very often.
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.
