Question
If a father says that his daughter should not cut her hair short , does she have to obey him ? Thank you for your time
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedIf a father tells his daughter not to cut her hair short, it is appropriate for her to respect his request, because obeying and pleasing oneโs parents is very important in Islam.
However, since cutting oneโs hair short is not inherently haram, it would not be considered a sin by itself. Nevertheless, it is not proper to upset oneโs parents without a valid reason. Therefore, it is better for the daughter to try to follow her fatherโs advice with wisdom and respect.
