Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


Yes, It is necessary for women to grow their hair long, as this is beauty for women. It is Haraam to cut, trim the hair to beautify herself for the husband or even ordered by him.

"And do not cooperate in sinfulness and transgression. Have fear of Allah, for Allah is Stern in retribution." (5:2)
