Question

Is it permissible for girls to get haircuts even if they wear a hijab?

An early respose will be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is prohibited for females to trim their hair. (Al-Mahmood pg.173)

The actual ruling is that it is not permissible for a woman to trim her hair at all except during haj or umra.

It is not permissible for women to cut their hair. (Shaami vol.6 pg.407 H.M.Saeed)

And Allah knows best

Is the niqaab (face veil) compulsory?

“It is recorded in the Kitaabs of Fiqh that covering the nose and mouth in Salaah is Makrooh, hence covering the face in Salaah will also be considered as Makrooh.”
