لا يجوز
للمرأة قطع شعرها ولو بإذن الزوج، (الأشباه والنظائر ص148 دار الكتب العلمية)
وفيه: قطعت
شعر رأسها أثمت ولعنت زاد في البزازية وإن بإذن الزوج لأنه لا طاعة لمخلوق في
معصية الخالق، ولذا يحرم على الرجل قطع لحيته، والمعنى المؤثر التشبه بالرجال اهـ.
قال
الشامي رحمه الله: (قوله والمعنى المؤثر) أي العلة المؤثرة في إثمها التشبه
بالرجال فإنه لا يجوز كالتشبه بالنساء حتى قال في المجتبى رامزا: يكره غزل الرجل
على هيئة غزل النساء (رد المحتار 6/407 دار الفكر)
