In what manner does a women cut her hair to fulfill the HAJJ requirement. Is it just a snip of hair or an overall trim, or other then that? Also is there a ransom to pay or expiation for the one who does not bother with the hair at all either out of ignorance or for some other reason.
Also, how is the women to wear her face cover? Most of the NIQAABS and BURQAS that are sold tie midway at the back of the head. Are these pemissible to wear during HAJJ?
Then with regard to the question "In what manner does a women cut her hair to fulfill the HAJJ requirement..."
The following point has been taken from the English translation of Manaasik-ul-Hajj wal 'Umrah fil Kitaab wa Sunnah wa Athar as-Salaf (The Rights of Hajj and Umrah from the Book and Sunnah and Narrations from the Pious Predecessors) by Shaikh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaani رحمه الله.
109. And shaving the hair is just the for men and not for the women - they have to shorten only as the Prophet said: "There is no shaving of the hair for women, verily upon women is shortening of the hair." (Sahih hadith - 'Al Ahaadith us-Saheehah' (no.605), Sahih Abi Dawud (no.1732).) So she should together her hair and shorten it by the length of a finger-joint.(Ibn Taimiyyah says: "And if he shortens it he draws it together and shortens it up to the length of a finger joint or less - or more, and the woman does not shorten in excess of that - as for the man he may shorten it as much as he pleases.")
