The Ruling on Wearing a "Wig" for Bald Men and Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on wearing a wig for someone who has a defect, namely baldness, among men and women? And what is the ruling on selling them in shops?
Answer:
Wearing a wig is more severe than adding hair. Adding hair means attaching hair, so what about a wig, which is a complete head of hair? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a tuft of hair one day and said: Therefore, deception is not permissible. However, there is nothing wrong with treatment to grow hair, so that the hair may return. But wearing a tuft of hair or attaching hair is not allowed.

The women of the Children of Israel perished only because they did something like this.
إنما هلك نساء بنو إسرائيل لما فعلوا مثل هذا
