Is it permissible for men to let a lock of hair hang down onto the forehead?

The ruling regarding letting hair hang down over the forehead refers back to common practice, and the ruling may differ from one country to another. If common practice considers letting hair hang down in this manner to be specific to women, then it is not permissible for a man to do so, because it involves imitating women, which is forbidden by Islamic law. The forbidden imitation is that which is specific to women in its type, its form, or predominantly in their attire.
