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?

Q: I know that it is not permissible for women to cut or trim their hair. However, I wish to enquire about male haircuts. Is it permissible for a barber to cut males’ hair in uneven lengths?

Can you explain to me the laws of Shari’ah that relate to cutting the hair?

Q: I have a skin condition (similar to eczema) and I am finding it difficult and painful to remove pubic, scrotal, back passage and surrounding hair by shaving. However, I have found through personal experience that either plucking or trimming these hairs are more suitable for me.

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?
Q: Can women apply black colour dye? If not then what is the alternative method for getting black colour hair.
Q: My friend wants to cut her hair which is below her buttocks and she is complaing that it is thin and has split ends, what should we tell her? Also if she intends to cut it upto the lower part of her back, is it permissble? She says that she is doing it for growth and because it gets stuck in her buttocks. However, because shes an alimah Im telling her to do ihtiyaat since we sometimes end up taking leeways and following desires. What should I tell this girl because she keeps insisting that she wants to do it?
