`Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) prohibited a woman from shaving her head.[An-Nasai].
Commentary:
This Hadith is also included in At-Tirmidhi but Sheikh Al-Albani has regarded it "Da`if" (weak). Please see Ahadith Ad-Da`ifah. However, in order to avoid resemblance with men, this prohibition for women will stand. If it is required on medical ground then it will be permissible.
