Very good point brother, the reference is there for a reason.

But also take a look at this, not that its related.

sorry for not elaborating.

1) Safety

A young man, boy, with long hair but no beard and whose body still hasn't matured fully looks attractive. But not in a masculine way. This appearance attracts predators, some of whom are in our madaris and masajid, in our ijtemas, conferences and itikafs.

2) Niyyah

Most young boys who grow long hair do so with the intention of looking attractive rather than to follow the sunnah even though that's what they say. Most of the guys who had long hair when I was younger have since cut it off and grown "faux-hawks".

Kanzoor bhai, could you tell me if I am allowed to grow a zulfa because: I have a small beard groing on my chin, and my intention is for the sunnah, so is it permisable for me?

Although I have let this conversation continue for educational benefit, I would recommend as before to ask your local Imam as he will be able to answer you more correctly since he can physically see you.

I hope you guys don't mind and a huge Jazakallah to kanzoor bhai for benefiting us with his input.

Forgive me for not replying earlier brother te. I am not a scholar and I do know you. It's better to do as brother abu mohammed advised and ask an Alim you know.

1. Wafarah- long hair which are half way through the ears.
2. Limmah- those which go below the earlobes.
3. Jummah- those which go close to the Shoulders.

The braids are used by some mujahideen in jihad to keep their hair under control. Such as ths shaheed Amir Khattab. He had his hair braided as can be seen in some pictures of him.

I'm just taking this point and bringing it to this thread, jzk.

Interesting. I would just like to point out that this query does not have to be restricted to differences between madhabs. It can also be asked in relation to intra-madhab differences. For e.g. growing up as hanafis we were taught hair has to be cut at even lengths, therefore fade haircuts were haram. Many of us still had such haircuts and had to hide them from Ustadh with topis. Nowadays the fatwas from reputable hanafi sources allow fade haircuts. So people nowadays can have such haircuts guilt free.
So your query can also be applied to this situtation.

Good point, although personally I don't like the fade and prefer short back and sides.

The part he is highlighted about even size never made sense to me because those people with the zulfa would argue the same thing and I would point out to them that the hair in the front of the head is not the same length as the hair on the back of your head! So let me keep my short back and sides and you keep your "short back and long front"

So when I hear from someone that short back and sides are not permitted because all the hair needs to be one length, I let them think about it.

(I don't like the fade because it can look like parts of the head is shaven, which is not allowed (qaza)) even shape ups of the forehead, I can't stand it!

During lockdown I've been able to grow to the level of jummah.
So when the hair is braided im guessing you can do masah of it without untying the hair?
