Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 800/520/L=1432) At the time of burial, the ruling is that woman's hair shall be divided into two parts and put on her chest: ويجعل شعرها ضفيرتين على صدرها فوق الدرع . (عالمكيري: 1/177) However, if the hair of any woman is short naturally this ruling will not apply her, but it is unlawful and source of curse to cut hair short.
