The Ruling on the Use of Wigs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to use a wig, which is false hair, for the sake of adornment?

Answer:
It is not permissible. This is greater than joining hair. Joining hair is not permissible; joining hair with hair is not permissible. Therefore, a wig is more severe and more dangerous. It is established in the hadith of Mu'awiyah in the Sahih that he said:
The women of the Children of Israel were punished for what they did.إنما عذبت نساء بني إسرائيل لما فعلن ذلك
They did such-and-such with hair on their heads.
The point is: making it a complete head of hair, or joining hair, all of it is not permissible. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
