Styling a woman's hair like the hump of a camel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) about some women:
Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one sideرؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة
Sahih Muslim 2128
. The woman asks: Is it permissible for her to do that at home or with other women?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to do that, to gather the hair on her head and tie it at the back so that it looks like another head, like the hump of a camel. She has two humps, she has two heads. This is not permissible.
