Is cutting bangs considered haram in Islam ?
Answer
Wa ʿAlaykumus Salām Wa Raḥmatullāhī Wa Barakātuh
Whilst bangs are rare and an uncommon practice amongst those women who are religiously upright, it is a common practice found amongst celebrities, non-Muslim women, and those who openly transgress the bounds of the Sharī’ah.
The Jurists have therefore stated that is impermissible for a woman to cut her hair; hence, rendering bangs impermissible.
We, therefore, advise that you exercise caution in this regard.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
