A woman whose head hair is falling out in large quantities: is it permissible for her to have hair transplanted?

The questioner : Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Do you remember, Honorable Shaykh, she says that all the hair on her head is falling out, and she says it has become noticeable among the women. What is the ruling on performing artificial hair transplantation for such a woman, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I am hesitant to give a ruling on that. Because a woman asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about her daughter, saying, "The measles have torn out the hair on her head. Should I have it grown back?" He said, "No." I am hesitant in this matter; I do not assert that it is forbidden or permissible, and Allah knows best.

The questioner : Did you hear the fatwa, my sister? Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.

The questioner : Frankly, we did a project.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

The questioner : May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh. Please, go ahead.

The Shaykh : Perhaps this woman can wear the khimar, and no one knows what is under the khimar, and she does not wash it or anything.
