Why did the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wear his hair long?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Leaving the hair of the head and honoring it is a from the customs, and keeping it is better than removing it. This is indicated by the saying of Imam Ahmad: "It is a good Sunnah, if we could, we would adopt it." It is desirable for the hair to be long enough to reach the shoulders if it is long, and to the earlobes if it is short, and it is desirable to part the hair. The Sunnahs of customs do not require justification.
