The ruling on wearing a wig for a woman whose hair fell out after surgery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A sister who is a questioner sent this question to Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih. She says: I went to the hospital and had a surgical operation, and after the operation my hair fell out and baldness appeared on my head. Honorable Shaykh, she is a woman. Is it permissible for her to wear false hair for what happened to her as a result of the medications that caused this hair loss?

Answer:
There is no harm in that, and it is to be temporary until Allah restores her hair, after which she will no longer need the wig. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
