The ruling on wearing a wig for a woman afflicted with cancer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman, may Allah keep us and you safe, is afflicted with cancer, and her hair has fallen out due to the treatment. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to wear what is called a wig?
Answer:
No, she should put a covering on her head so that no one knows if she has hair in it; the covering is sufficient. She should not use a wig, because this is from al-wasl (attaching hair). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who attaches hair and the one who has it attached.
