Women's Adornment
If A Woman Adorns Herself Within The Limits Of Shariah With The Intention Of Pleasing Her Husband, And Not To Display Herself Before Other Women Or Non-Mahram Men, Then Her Adornment Can Be Rewardable.
If She Beautifies Herself To Please Her Husband, Then, In Shaa Allah, She Will Receive Reward For It, Regardless Of Whether Other Women Approve Or Dislike It.
Adornment For Pride Is Not Permissible
However, If A Woman Dresses Or Adorns Herself With The Intention Of Showing Off, Attracting Non-Mahram Men, Displaying Herself Before Others, Or Feeling Proud Over Them, Then She Will Be Sinful.
Therefore, It Is Necessary To Avoid Such Intentions.
It Should Be Remembered That Excessive Preoccupation With Beautification Is Not Favored In Shariah.
For A Married Woman, Reasonable Adornment Is Permissible. However, Making Beautification A Constant Occupation, Continuously Thinking Of New Styles, Constantly Purchasing Beauty-Related Items, And Keeping The Mind Occupied With Such Matters At All Times Is Contrary To The Character Of A Believer.
Those Who Wish To Adorn Themselves With Righteous Deeds And Noble Character Do Not Have Much Time To Waste On Unnecessary Beautification And Excessive Spending.
After Understanding These Basic Principles, The Various Modern Fashion Trends Must Be Evaluated According To The Detailed Rulings Of Shariah.
Cutting Women's Hair
For Women, Cutting, Trimming, Or Shortening The Hair As A Fashion Trend, Whether From The Front, Sides, Or Back, Is Considered Impermissible According To Many Traditional Islamic Scholars Due To Resemblance To Men.
A Hadith Mentions A Strong Warning Against Men And Women Deliberately Imitating The Distinctive Characteristics Of The Opposite Gender.
Therefore, If A Husband Requests Such A Thing, A Woman Should Politely Explain The Islamic Ruling And Decline In A Respectful Manner.
Obedience To Creation Is Not Permissible In Matters That Involve Disobedience To Allah.
It Is Hoped That A Muslim Husband Will Accept The Islamic Ruling And Will Not Insist On Something Contrary To Shariah.
According To This View, Keeping A "Baby Cut" Hairstyle Is Not Permissible For Adult Women And Should Be Avoided.
Trimming The Ends Of Hair
The Same General Ruling Applies To Fashion-Based Hair Trimming.
However, If Hair Ends Become Split Or Damaged And Cause Tangling, Then Trimming Those Ends Is Permissible.
Likewise, Slightly Evening Out Uneven Hair From The Bottom Is Also Permissible.
Styling Hair Without Cutting It
Women May Style Their Hair In Different Ways Without Cutting It.
However, The Following Conditions Should Be Observed:
1. The Style Should Not Be Intended To Resemble Non-Muslim Or Immoral Fashion Icons.
2. The Purpose Should Be Personal Satisfaction Or Pleasing One's Husband.
3. Excessive Time Should Not Be Wasted On It To The Point That Other Important Responsibilities Are Neglected.
Cutting Hair To Encourage Growth
Sometimes Hair Ends Become Split, Which Can Affect Healthy Growth.
In Such Cases, Slightly Trimming The Ends To Maintain Healthy Hair Growth Is Permissible.
For Girls Who Have Reached Puberty Or Are Close To Puberty, Hair Cutting For Fashion Purposes Is Generally Not Permissible According To This View.
However, For Young Girls Who Have Not Yet Reached The Age Of Puberty, Hair Cutting For Beautification Or Other Permissible Reasons Is Allowed.
Care Should Be Taken Not To Deliberately Imitate Un-Islamic Or Immoral Fashion Trends.
Islamic Teachings Discourage Blind Imitation Of Practices That Conflict With Religious Values.
Cutting Hair Due To Illness Or Pain
If A Woman Suffers From A Medical Condition, Pain, Or A Hair-Related Problem That Requires Cutting The Hair As A Necessity, Then Cutting The Hair Is Permissible Due To The Shar'i Excuse.
Once The Medical Necessity Ends, The Special Permission Also Ends, And The Hair Should No Longer Be Cut Without A Valid Reason.
