Answer:
Women cut style hair and eye brows
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: Can
women cut hair.
There is nothing in the Quran or the Sunnah which
prohibits the believing woman from cutting her hair as short as she wishes to,
or to color, shape or style it in any way she pleases, provided certain
stipulated conditions are not violated:
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.820 Narrated by Ibn Abbas
The Messenger of Allah (saws) invoked the curse of Allah on men who imitate women, and those women who
assume the similitude of men.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
4649 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr
ibn al-'As
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "He does not belong to us who imitates other people.”
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4020 Narrated byA bdullah ibn Umar
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘He who copies any people is one of them.’
Sahih Muslim Hadith
6840 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said: “There are two types, amongst the denizens of Hell, I have yet not seen them. One possessing whips like the tail of an ox
and they flog people with them. (The second one) the women who would be
naked, in spite of their being dressed,
who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others with their hair
high like humps. These women
would not get into Paradise, and they
would not perceive the odour of
Your Question: Can
they shape and set the eyebrows
Sahih
Al-Bukhari 7.815 Narrated by Abdullah
Allah has cursed
those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and
those who remove their eye-brow hairs, and those who create a space
between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change
the features created by Allah. Why then
should I not curse those whom the Prophet (saws) has cursed?
To alter the size, or shape, or cut, or trim, or set, or
do anything with one’s eye-brows which would alter its natural appearance or
growth is absolutely forbidden for the believing women who sincerely believe in
Allah and the Last Day.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
