Women trimming their hair
Question
I have heard that a woman is not allowed to cut her hair like how a man should not cut his beard. Please advise me as to the Trimming of a woman's hair (like how a man trims any strands that stick out of his beard so that his beard is neat).
Answer
She should not trim it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
