Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from France asking, and she says that she is afflicted with baldness and has no hair at all on her head, and she must be photographed in order to renew her national identity in her country. And she must expose her face in the picture. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to wear what is called a wig on her head?

Answer:
A wig is not permissible; this is from the category of joining hair
Cursed is the one who joins hair and the one who has her hair joined.لعن الواصلة والمستوصلة.
A wig is from the category of joining hair and is not permissible. Also, photographing a woman is not permissible. She should do whatever trick she can to avoid being photographed. Do not get photographed? Yes, today in what they call this fingerprint, the fingerprint, the fingerprint, they say it is sufficient instead of the photograph, praise be to Allah. Yes.
