The ruling on a woman gathering her hair on top of her head in front of women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener from Yemen asks: Is it permissible for a woman to gather her hair on top of her head in front of women? And what is your advice to the woman regarding her modesty? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
A woman does not gather her hair on top of her head; because it takes on a volume as if it were another head, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described women in the last times as being
naked even though they are wearing clothes, go astray and make others go astrayكاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات
Muwatta Malik 48:8
, their heads like the humps of camels, and the "bakt" is a type of camel with two humps. So if she puts her hair on top of her head, it takes on a volume like the volume of the head, making it as if she has two heads, and she falls under the warning. So she should let her hair hang down from the sides of her head; she lets it hang and does not gather it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
