The ruling on a woman wearing a wig when her hair has fallen out
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman has been afflicted with cancer, may Allah protect us and you, and the hair on her head has fallen out. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to wear a wig on her head, or what should she do?
The Shaykh:
No, a wig is a form of hair extension, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who extends hair and the one who has her hair extended. She should be patient with this, and her hair will grow back, if Allah wills. She should cover her head and wait, and her hair will grow back, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
Production.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
