The ruling on the hairstyle of a bun behind the head

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, Amina from Najran, asks and says: Regarding hairstyles for women, specifically placing the hair in the form of a bun behind the woman's head, and other styles they do, what is the ruling on such things for the woman? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
This is not permissible; because this becomes another mass beside her head until it becomes as if she has two heads. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not seeصِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا
Sahih Muslim 2128
Women who are naked even though they are wearing clothes, go astray and make others go astrayنساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات
Muwatta Malik 48:8
. Two humps. So if she gathers her head hair and wraps it behind her head, she becomes as if she has two heads. The hadith applies to her, may Allah protect us. Yes.
