Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are women allowed to get their haircut?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hanafi jurists hold the position that it is impermissible for women to cut their hair without a valid reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imam Haskafi mentions \u201cIf a woman cuts her hair she has sinned, and she becomes accursed\u201d1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This ruling is based on the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Imitation of the opposite gender. Allah’s Messenger peace and blessings are upon him cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Imitation of those of other faiths. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, \u201cWhoever imitates a people is one of them.\u201d3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade women to shave their heads 4. The commentators of hadith expound on this narration \u201cthe word shave is general and includes trimming as well\u201d5<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Due to these reasons, it is impermissible for women to cut their hair without a valid reason.<\/span><\/p>\n
