In one of the editions of AI-Haqq QA, it was said women are not supposed to cut short or shave their hair. Does it mean that the hair must be left to grow for the rest of a woman's life?
Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Answer
It is not permissible for a female to cut her hair. If her hair is long, she should look after it by plaiting it and combing it.
