The questioner : She recalls that her mother used some medicines or drugs on her head, which led to the loss of her head hair or most of her head hair, and she says that she sees in this some degree of shame or embarrassment or something of that sort when she sits with the other women. She mentions that a person who had something like what she has, where most of his head hair had fallen out, used a treatment and his head was cured and thick hair grew. She says that this head was cured and hair grew in a thick quantity, and she wanted to take the treatment from him, but he mentioned that after he was cured, he learned from one of those who read the English language that this treatment contains pork fat and something of its blood. She wants to know whether it is permissible for her to be treated with this medicine. Also, she was embarrassed to use a wig because she sees that it is forbidden for the Muslim woman. She asks for your guidance, O your Excellency?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. This question actually contains two parts. The first is regarding the use of a wig in such a situation as you described, where her hair has fallen out in a way that is not expected to return. Regarding this part, we say that there is nothing wrong with a wig in such a situation, because it is actually not an addition for beautification, but rather the removal of a defect.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And on this basis, it does not fall under the category of joining hair, for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it. It is reported that and the one who joins hair is the one who joins her hair with something.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But this woman, in reality, does not resemble the one who joins hair, because she does not want to add beautification or increase to the hair that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) created for her; rather, she wants to remove a defect that has occurred.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And there is nothing wrong with this, because it falls under the category of removing a defect, not adding beautification.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And there is a difference between the two matters.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : As for the use of this medicine that contains pork fat, if it is established that it contains fat from the pig, then there is nothing wrong with it in case of need.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because the forbidden thing from the pig is only its consumption.[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] And Allah the Exalted said, commanding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-An'am 6:145].
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1:81 And he permitted the benefit from its skin after tanning. It is also established from him that he said (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 3486Sahih (Al-Albani) It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the fat of carrion? It is used to coat ships, to anoint skins, and people use it for lighting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
The questioner : Meaning, it is forbidden to coat with it.
The Shaykh : Meaning, the sale.
The questioner : And the use for lighting, which is illumination.
The Shaykh : Meaning, the sale.
The questioner : Yes, the sale, yes.
The Shaykh : Meaning, the sale, because that is the subject of the hadith.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) brought this up not to know the ruling on these things, but to provide a justification for the sale. They said: Do not these benefits that people derive from the fat of carrion justify its sale? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And on this basis, using this medicine to anoint the head, if it is verified to be beneficial, then the need calls for it. And on this basis, if she uses it, she should wash it off when performing the prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because pork fat is ritually impure, if this is established.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : You have done well. So we say that the one who indicated herself with the sad symbol is, if Allah wills, the happy daughter from al-Ruwaysh, because she is happy, if Allah wills, with the leniency and ease of Islam, and that she may use a wig because she is not one of those who wants to add to her hair, and she may use the treatment, but she should wash it off when performing the prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
