A woman raising her hair above her head in front of women

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it considered to fall under the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one sideرؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة
Sahih Muslim 2128
for a woman to raise her hair above her head in front of women?

Answer:
There is no doubt that if she gathers her hair from behind and ties it up so that it looks like another head, the hadith applies to that. A woman may let her hair hang down, make it into braids, or leave it unbraided, and that does not contradict the ruling. But gathering it and leaving it at the back is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) meant.
