Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a woman’s hair has fallen out because of an illness, is it permissible for her to wear what is called a wig?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to wear a wig; rather, she should cover the area that causes disfigurement for her.
