حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَتْ : أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ عُثْمَانَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ حَلْقٌ ، إِنَّمَا عَلَى النِّسَاءِ التَّقْصِيرُ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ said: Shaving is not a duty laid on women; only clipping the hair is incumbent on them.
