Women’s Hair: Shortening and Shaving

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


     A.   Shortening it slightly is permissible. Cutting it short so that it looks like men’s hair or having a hair-style similar to that of movie stars and other Kafirs is a grave sin.
     A.   Husband’s permission, even order, cannot make a prohibited hairstyle lawful.

Q2. If a woman prays with her hair folded, will her prayer become invalid?
      A.   Folding the hair into a bun is permissible inside Salah and outside, provided it is hidden under cloth. Having the bun over the center of head like a camel’s hump is Makrüh.
