Child mistakenly cutting woman's hair
Question
If a woman’s hair was cut by mistake by a child,
1. Would she be sinful for having different length hair?
2. Would it be permissible to trim all the hair to one length?
Answer
Since this was done mistakenly by the child, she will not be sinful. However, she should not cut more of her hair. She should leave her hair to grow.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
