Is it a sunnah/obligatory for a Muslim woman to keep her hair long till waist length?

never heard of thisIs it a sunnah/obligatory for a Muslim woman to keep her hair long till waist length?
No I do not find a hadits about sunnah or mandatory for maintaining woman hair long till waist length .I read only that lengtening hair of a woman is haram. Shaving off or eliminating eyebrows and shaving off small hair on forehead of a woman are haram tooIs it a sunnah/obligatory for a Muslim woman to keep her hair long till waist length?
Sunnah = what Prophet Muhammad did. He cant possibly set an example himself for women's stuff...............reasonable pls when refering to Prophet Muhammad (saw).





PS. Islam and Sunnah is not all about personal appearnce..beared, long hair, high rise shalwars and finely shaved mostache with wear Aba in hot and humid weather.....





@JiJi!: The word 'Sunnah' is used for examples of Huzoor (SAW) set for his Ummah. I didnt mean its specific to either sex. No offence!
Sis., u r allowed to cut or lengthen ur hair as u wish, as long as u don't:


make them resemble with men


go bald


try to make them resemble with the religious fashions of the non Muslim women





That's it! nowhere does it say that u can't cut them. The hadiths only mention these things.
Well that would be stupid and inconsiderate, wouldnt it?





Many women have naturally short hair, like many of the Africans. So what are they going to do in the Day of Judgement? Wear artifical hair?
Thatz biggest crapy joke i ever heard..





Sorry no offense bcoz its not ur fault





There is nothing like that..You can cut ur hair in whatever way u like..
no sister, you have either long or short choice, it's something called 'Mubah' (permissible).
I bet if Muhammad was hear he would be sick to death of these Haram/Halal/Sunnah questions.
Her hair may not resemble that of a man (meaning cut short to that length), but women may cut their hair.





Question: My wife complains of her hair falling out a lot and it was said to her to cut it short as this will reduce the falling out (of the hair). Is this permissible?





Response: If the situation is as mentioned, then it is permissible (to cut the hair short) since this will prevent further harm.





And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Question: What is the ruling regarding (women) shortening their hair out of necessity such as in the United Kingdom where the women find washing their hair difficult due to the cold weather so because of this they shorten it.





Response: If the situation is as mentioned, then it is permissible for them to cut short their hair according to what their needs stipulate only. As for cutting short their hair out of resembling the disbelieving women (kaafiraat), then this is not permissible as the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:





((Whoever resembles a nation, then he is from them)).





And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Question: I hope you will help me concerning cutting my hair from the front of it in a certain style wherein the hair sometimes falls down over the eyebrows of a Muslim woman. Is this allowed or not? May Allaah reward you.





Response: I do not know of anything [wrong] in cutting a woman's hair. It is not allowed to shave all of it off. You cannot shave off the hair of your head but you may shorten its length. I do not know of anything wrong with that. However, that should be done in a good way that is pleasing to you and your husband. You should agree upon how it is going to be done. Also, it should not be in imitation of the disbelieving women. If you leave it long, it makes it more difficult to wash it and tend to it. If it is long or thick and a women cuts it short or layers it, there is nothing wrong with that. Or she may cut part of it short to make herself more beautiful to herself and her husband. I do not know of anything wrong with that. However, one may not shave all of it off. This is not allowed except in the case of some disease or problem.
