Cutting hair because of sickness
Question: 1191
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If this is the case, then it is permissible to cut her hair because this will protect her from harm. (Fatawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 5/182), on the condition that she should not make herself look like men or kaafir women. See Question #1192.
And Allah knows best.
