Women cutting their hair
Question What is the ruling about the haircut favoured by some women, whereby they cut the hair across their foreheads (“bangs” or “fringe”) and allow some locks or strands of hair to hang forward?

Question
favoured by some women, whereby they cut the hair across their foreheads
(“bangs” or “fringe”) and allow some locks or strands of hair to hang
forward?
Praise be to Allah.
If the purpose of this haircut is to resemble kaafir and atheist women,
then it is haraam, because imitation of non-Muslims is haraam, as the Prophet
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of
them.” If the aim is not to imitate the non-Muslims, and it is only a modern trend
among women that is considered attractive, then a woman can adorn herself in this way for
her husband and appear like this in front of her close friends so that she may look and
feel good among them. We do not see anything wrong with this.
