What is the ruling on a woman gathering her hair and raising it above her head?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling, or rather, a woman asks: What is the ruling on a woman gathering her hair and raising it above her head?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. This is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Like the hump of a tilted bukht,كأسنمة البخت المائلة،
It becomes as if she has two heads. This is not permissible.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is the question of the moment.

The Shaykh:
The "bukht" referred to here is the camel of the East, which has two humps for each one. So the woman's head becomes like the bukht that has two humps; she has two heads. This is not permissible.
