Question
1. What is the ruling and condition of keeping zulfah?
2. What is the position of one who opposes others keeping zulfah?
Answer
1. If one is able to take good care of it by combing it and oiling it etc. then it is recommended.
2. If he has a valid reason for stopping others due to them not combing their hair and appearing dishevelled etc. then there is no problem.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
