The ruling on wearing wigs for men and women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his final question, he asks: What is the ruling on using wigs for men and women? If some women have short hair and wish to adorn themselves for their husbands, is that permissible in this case? Also, what is the ruling on women using lipstick and other cosmetic items?
Answer:
Whoever wears a wig, it is forbidden for men and women, and it is among the major sins; because it is a form of joining hair, for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it,Sahih al-Bukhari 5936 she is the one who joins her hair with other hair, and that includes the wig, because it is hair other than human hair, so it is not permissible for him to wear it. Even if a woman’s hair is short, she does not wear a wig; rather, the hair that Allah created for her is sufficient. As for the man, he does not wear a wig at all, because it is not the custom of men to grow their hair or let it hang below the shoulders. This is only done by some men. If this happens with his natural hair, there is no harm. But if he takes artificial hair, that is not permissible. Yes.
