    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 750/698=L-1429)

     

    It is impermissible for women to get their hair cut; it has been cursed in the Hadith. However, if the hair are so long hanging below hips and looking inelegant, then it is allowable to get them cut (only as much as necessary). The hair is a cause of beauty for child girls as well; therefore they should not be cut. Yes, when a girl is so little her hair can be cut when needed.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
