The question

Is trimming the forelock (bangs) from the front of the hair for adornment considered a form of Qaza‘? What is the ruling on letting hair fall over the shoulders from the front? What is the ruling on parting the hair from the side instead of the middle?

The answer

There is no harm in shortening a portion of the hair of the head without shaving it, as long as it does not involve imitating disbelievers, transgressors, or women. This is not considered the forbidden qaza'. Similarly, there is no harm in parting the hair from the side and letting it hang over the shoulder, as long as it does not involve imitating those whom it is forbidden to imitate.
