  • Haircut For Men And Women

    Posted by Ibrahim Ali on September 15, 2023 at 4:19 am

    I have heard of various scholars that cutting short hairs of women ain’t allowed according to Islam,,,

    Is it true that women can’t cut her hairs?

    If she can cut her hairs how short can she cut?

    And can she cut bangs ?

    Can she cut like pictures in below or simply short ,,,

    Kindly elaborate

    Similarly abt men , can men cut their hairs in a certain style like having wolf cut or step cuts in their hairs ?

    And can their be exception where a man or woman’s haircut is similar somewhere ?

    No where in Quran there is such a mention that women can’t cut their hair. Islam deals with morality. In my opinion, if a hair style is considered sexy in the culture and the intention is to look sexy and attract men the wrong way, then it goes against Islam.

    The same goes for men. If any hairstyle, symbol, body jewelry or modification is intended or considered sexy, then it is disliked in Islam as it may lead to sin.

    But normally they say everything is sexy which seems to be attractive, wether it’s hairstyle or anything,

    Is it the case that when you wear a certain dress which is like designed in a certain way which is sexy and can be considered body fitted ,, wouldn’t it be the objective in my opinion,

    As jewelry and hairstyles shouldn’t be related to this or else no one could live their life’s upon basic objectives

    Yes jazakallah I know that but what abt all the scholars telling not to cut hair short?

    Would cutting hair short come within any of these five things can you kindly explain

    In general, cutting hair short does not fall under any of these categories. However, in a particular situation if a specific haircut is done to signify polytheism (or anything immoral) then it would be considered impermissible for that particular situation.

    Traditional scholars approach religion differently. Generally in such matters they base their opinions on hadith narrations. In one of the discussions referenced above you can find Umer Qureshi sahab’s comment on Ghamidi sahab’s approach to sources of religion, including hadith.

    As stated above, if the specific haircut is done to signify polytheism (or anything immoral) then it would be considered impermissible. Without the proper determination of cause of something being impermissible according to Quran’s categories as explained in a discussion referenced above, nothing can be deemed impermissible.

    That is for the concerned person to decide. We need to understand things in principle and refrain from hypothesizing or speculating.

    If the intention ain’t immoral than would the cut or the style would become permissible

    Will the ruling change according to intention?
