The ruling on a woman wearing a wig to conceal baldness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with truth, if a woman is afflicted with a disease of the head that causes her hair to fall out, making her bald, is it permissible for her to wear a wig, knowing that she does so not for the sake of adornment, but to conceal the defect, and she is married?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a problem, and our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), holds that it is a form of hair extension (wasl), and he has a position on this. So she should cover her head with a covering, and no one should know that she has no hair. Yes.
