A woman cutting her hair
Question:
Assalaamu Alaikum,
Can you tell me what islam teaches about women cutting their hair,with husband’s consent?
Is it haraam or is it ok?
JazaakAllah.
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
The scholars have mentioned that even if the husband has given consent, a woman should not cut her hair except in the case where there is a valid reason (like health /medical etc.) for doing so. (Al Bahr ar Raiq- Fatawa Haqaniyah vol.2 pg.463).
And Allah knows best
