Is It Lawful For The Muslim Woman To Cut Her Hair ?

Cutting the abundant hair for the muslim woman is lawful if it is intended to reduce it, as it was reported that the wives of the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) have cut their hair to reduce it after his death, so it is lawful to do it for that particular intent not trying to resemble men or what the disbelievers do in fashion.
