What is the ruling on a woman parting her hair from the side without intending to imitate disbelieving women? Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbid that? And what is the ruling on a woman cutting her hair and styling it with modern hairstyles that do not involve imitating men or disbelieving women?

It is permissible for a woman to part, style, or shorten her hair, provided the intention is for lawful adornment for her husband, or to reduce the burden of her hair and facilitate its styling. It is not permissible if the intention is to imitate disbelievers, prostitutes, or men.
