Asalamu Alaikum All!
I just have a quik question about hair length for men. In the Hadith "Maliks Muwatta 051;006:Section 642",It mentions Abu Qatada al-Ansari saying to Muhammad that he had alot of hair which came down to the shoulders,so he asked Muhammad if he should comb it and Muhammad told him yes and to honour it.
My question is this,by the above hadith and some others It appears that long hair is accpetable for men.Then why do most Muslim men have short hair? Is their a Sunnah that says Muhammad had long or short hair or that one is better than the other?
Sorry if this has been covered before..
Peace
Jerry
