Woman cutting her hair as a medical treatment

5 days ago By user2

Q: Recently I've been experiencing alot of hair fall and thinning. I have a few small patches where the scalp is peeking through. 

As a young married girl, this is very worrying for me. I was suggested to cut the hair a bit short till the shoulders and layer it to take off the weight, take good care of it and then grow it out once it starts to thicken and grow properly again. 

Will it be permitted for me to follow this advice and cut the hair short and in layers?

The law of shaving or trimming the beard in the Shaafi'ee Mazhab

Q: Mufti Saheb, I heard that according to the Hanafi, Maaliki and Hambali mazhabs, it is not permissible for a male to shave his beard or to trim it shorter than a fist length. However, according to the Shaafi’ee mazhab, shaving or trimming the beard is only makrooh tanzeehi. Hence, if a person shaves or trims his beard, it will merely be disliked and he will not become sinful. Is this the correct view of the Shaafi’ee Mazhab - that they regard shaving and trimming the beard to be makrooh tanzeehi?
