In general, many Muslim women know that cutting of hair is not allowed in Islam, there are also many Islamic books like Hanafi Fiqh books, which prohibit the cutting of hairs for Women. Still, small number of Arab scholars world have allowed cutting of hair in some conditions.

In a Hadith, “the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) forbade women from shaving their hair.” (Sunan Tirmidhi, 2/246 & Sunan Nasa’i, 5/407)

From different hadith , we come to know that hair cutting is not allowed, even the husband give permission to his wife and if she do this then  she will be sinful and cursed.

The main reasons why it is not allowed for women to cut her hair are firstly it is the copy of non Muslims and secondly it is the copy of men so that’s why they are not allowed to do so.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whosoever imitates a group is amongst them.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, no. 4031)

It is not allowed for women to imitate men and also it is not allowed for men to imitate women and if they do so then Prophet Muhammad (SAW) cursed those people.

So finally we have answer that cutting hair is prohibits is Islam, we should try to adopt such thing which Holy Quran says to us and which Islam teaches us and for that we do lots of Quran learning, because in this way we can improve our lives and become successful not only in this life but the life hereafter.
