Hair loss in women

[soulsociety]

:sl:

A woman loses her hair, can she wear a wig or have treatment for it?

There was a hadith which seems to imply that she can't do anything about her hair, but stay bald..?

[amirah_87]

As Salaamu Alaykum,

Here's some fatwaa regarding the ruling of wearing wigs.

Ruling Concerning Wearing a Wig

Question: What is the ruling concerning a woman wearing a wig in order to beautify herself for her husband?

Response: Each spouse must beautify himself or herself for the other, in a way that is pleasing to the other and strengthens the feelings between the two. However, this must be done in a way that is within the limits of the Shariah and is not forbidden. The wearing of a wig is something that began among non-Muslim women and became a popular way for them to beautify themselves. If a Muslim woman wears one and beautifies herself with it, even if just for her husband, she is imitating the disbelieving women and the Prophet has forbidden that. He said,

"Whoever imitates a people is one of them."1

Furthermore, it takes on the same ruling as "artificially adding hair o one's hair". The Prophet (peace be upon him) has forbidden that act and cursed the one who did such.2

Women wearing wigs

Question:

What is the ruling about women wearing wigs to appear attractive to their husbands?



Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Both husband and wife should make themselves attractive to one another, in ways that the other likes, so as to strengthen their relationship, but this has to be within the limits of what is allowed in sharee’ah, not by doing things that are prohibited. The use of wigs started among non-Muslim women, who were so well known for wearing them and adorning themselves with them that this became one of their distinguishing features. If a woman wears a wig and adorns herself with it, even if she does this for her husband, she is imitating the kaafir women, which the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Wigs also come under the ruling about hair extensions, which is even more vehement in its prohibition: the Prophet

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 5/191. (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade this practice and cursed the one who does it.



Humayd ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf reported that he heard Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan at the time of Hajj, standing on the minbar and holding a piece of hair that had been seized by his guards, saying: “Where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allaah

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbidding this kind of thing and saying that Bani Israa’eel were destroyed when their women started to use such things.” Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed the woman who adds false hair and the woman who has this done, and the woman who tattoos and the women who has this done.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5477). And Allaah knows best.

Ibn Uthaimeen says:

Wigs are forbidden and are considered a type of adding hair to one's hair. Although it is not exactly that, it makes the woman's hair look longer than it is and becomes similar to adding hair. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) cursed the one who does the adding of hair as well as the one who requested it. However, if the woman does not have any hair upon her head, for example, if she is bald, then she may use a wig to cover up that blemish as it is considered permissible to remove blemishes. For example, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) allowed the man who had his nose cut off during a battle to wear a fake nose of gold. The matter is more flexible than that. It might also include the question of having plastic surgery to fix a small nose and so forth. However, beautification is not the same as removing a blemish. If the matter is that of removing a blemish, there is no harm in it, such as when the nose is crooked and needs to be straightened or the removal of a beauty mark. There is no harm in such acts. But it is not to remove a blemish, such as tattooing or removing eyebrow hairs, then it is forbidden. Using a wig, even with the permission and approval of the husband, is forbidden for there is permission or approval in matters that Allaah has forbidden.
