Woman cutting uneven hair to make it the same length
Q: A lady has long hair that she does not cut because it is impermissible. However, over time, her hair has become uneven.
1. Is it permissible to cut the hair so that it looks even (of the same length) from her back when she unties it and puts her hair to her back?
Note that since individual hair strands grow from follicles at different parts of the scalp, making sure the hair looks the same length does not mean that each strand is of the same length. She feels like it is impossible to guarantee that all hair is the same length.
2. She has a lot of split ends and her hair is very dry and unhealthy at the ends. Is it permissible for her to cut the dry part (bottom 3-4 inches) so all of her hair becomes healthy?
Meaning of transparent clothing
Q: Can you please tell me how do we determine if a dress is transparent or not. Most of my dresses are such that if I hold them in front of my eyes, I can see whatever is on the other side. But if I put my hand below the dress or wear the dress, my body colour cannot be seen. Are these dresses considered to be transparent? What is the way of determining if a dress is transparent or not?
