Hair Care for Women

SUMMARY: Women are not obligated to shave their hair, but they must clip it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: Shaving is not a duty laid on women; only clipping the hair is incumbent on them.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، ثِقَةٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، قَالَتْ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ عُثْمَانَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ الْحَلْقُ إِنَّمَا عَلَى النِّسَاءِ التَّقْصِيرُ

This means that women should keep their hair neat and tidy by trimming or cutting it regularly. It is important for them to maintain a good appearance and hygiene as part of being a Muslim woman. Additionally, this hadith teaches us that there is no need for women to go beyond what is necessary in terms of taking care of themselves; they can simply clip or trim their hair without having to shave it off completely.
