Q: I am a follower of the Hanafi madhab and have great respect for the Hanafi ulema of the sub continent and accept that the answers they give to their question are based only on shariah and there are no ulterior motives, however, I could not come to terms with the answer to the question regarding haircuts.

I understand that scholars give certain answers knowing the intent of the questioner to follow their desires, and they give their answers in such a way that people do not abuse the answer given. However, with regards to the answer on haircuts, the answer mentions that the hair should be kept all one length, however, we are all aware that the prophet and the companions kept long hair up to the earlobes, shoulders and in between and simple reasoning tells me that the hair from the front of the head hanging down to behind the head down to the shoulder would be twice if not three times as long as the hair at the back of the head, therefore, I cannot see a problem with a haircut that is number 5 blade on top and number 4 blade on the side, the difference would not even be noticeable by an onlooker. I am aware of qaza, however, from what I have read this is the complete shaving of hair on some parts and leaving other parts, therefore, can you tell me wether doing a haircut of something along the lines of number 5 on top and number 4 on the sides is haraam or not?

Q: What if a guy is not keeping his beard out of fear for people that what will they say? Is he doing shirk or kufar or some sin? I'm aware that not keeping a beard is a sin, that's what i heard.

Q: I want to grow a beard but my mother is telling me to only grow my beard after marriage. I live in India and there is a lot of difficulty in finding a girl if someone has a beard. I want to get married as soon as possible because there is a lot of fitna and temptation here.

Q: If there is an aalimah and she is persistant on the fact she wants to trim her hair. She wants to do such because she she claims it will grow back healthier and complains of it getting stuck in her buttocks and tying her hair gives a headache she wants to cut it about to to 3/4 of the back. I have told her that Aalimahs should be guides and refrain from cutting and trimming her hair. What shall I say to her and if she does so what should my attitude be towards her?
