Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A young woman’s hair is falling out, and baldness has appeared on her head. Is it permissible for her to wear what is called a wig?
Answer:
No, she should cover it with a head covering that conceals it, and that is sufficient. She should be content with the divine decree and destiny of Allah. If there is a treatment, she should seek treatment. We have heard that there is a treatment for growing hair. As for wearing a wig, this is part of adding to the hair (wasl). There are many fatwas from Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) prohibiting it, considering it to be wasl.
