Forbidden Hair Cutting
Ahadith mostly relate to matters of application and are description of narrators in their own words. Therefore, no principle can be deducted from them. All such matters need to be seen in the light of Quran and Sunnah. This narration and other related narrations seem like an advice of the Prophet (sws) in his capacity as an elder of the society when he saw an inappropriate haircut. This is not a religious injunction, unless something forbidden in Quran and Sunnah becomes a part of that haircut. How to Approach Hadith Corpus : Discussion 58786 • Reply 58902
