My wife is suffering from severe

Q: Is it permissible in Shari‘ah (Islamic law) for women to have their hair cut?


A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. It is not permissible for women to cut or shave their eyebrows or the hair of their head, unless there is a necessity, such as to treat a head or eyebrow injury that cannot be treated without cutting part or all of their hair. It then becomes permissible to the extent necessary. It is however obligatory for women to pluck, depilate, or use other means to remove facial and body hair, with the exception of the hair on their heads and eyebrows.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
