Answer:
Can women shave head
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness
that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your
Question: Is Shaving of Head is Haraam for women in Islam ?
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4485 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
Allah's Messenger (saws) forbade that a woman
should shave her head.
It is indeed considered absolutely forbidden in Islam for
a believing woman, who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, to shave her
head.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
