How long can a man grow his hair?

Q:

How long can a muslim men grow out his hair i read you could grow it as long you want but you have to just take care of it

A:

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. There is no problem with a man growing his hair as long as he does not appear like a woman. The length of the Prophet’s (saw) beard was about four fingers length (a fist) and it is makruh to grow a beard longer than that. A Muslim should also be clean generally.

May you always be successful.
