Inheritance

Q: My mother has only four daughters and no son. In preparing her will, my father and the four daughters are her primary heirs. She also has two sisters and two brothers. Are they entitled to an inheritance from her? If so, what will the distribution be among all her heirs?

Women cutting their hair

Q: Are women allowed to cut their hair? I heard some scholars say that this is not permitted because it is an imitation of men or the Kuffar. However, doesn't what is and isn't imitating men change with culture/times? Nowadays nearly all Muslim women cut their hair, and women cutting hair is considered normal in my culture (Turkish) and not all an imitation of men. Not to mention long/heavy hair is very difficult to maintain, and hard to cover fully when wearing a Hijab. So as long as the haircut does not imitate the Kuffar and is still long (not imitating the men), then is it permissible? If not, what is the proof of this?
