Women cutting their hair
Question
I know you have said that it is not permissable for women to cut their hair. But is there actually any hadith that says that women cannot do such? I know it is not allowed for women to immitate men, which would mean women getting a boy cut. But if a women keeps it at a moderate length and it looks like a girl haircut, what is the harm in such?
Answer
In this time and era, what criteria will be adopted to determine and
distinguish a boy's cut from a girl's cut?
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
