Is it necessary for a muslim woman to grow her hair? Can she have her hair cut to beautify herself for her husband? She wears hijaab and niqaab infront of all ghair mahram.



Bismillah

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)
