Women are prohibited to shave their heads for no reason, as this makes a woman look like a man. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed women who imitate men. However, if there is a need to shave the head, such as for medical reasons, then there is no harm in doing so. Even in hajj-rituals, a Muslim women is not allowed to shave her head but is required only to cut a short part.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
