Assalamu alaykum my mother is a non muslim, she as asked me to help her make a wig for herself to wear. my mother has hair on the botton of her head but is almost completely bald on the top, this is not a tempory condition, she as been in this condition for twenty years, with no improvment, just worsening. am i allowed to her her make the wig? jazzakallah joe

Fatwa
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is a difference of opinion among the scholars on the ruling of wearing a wig, some permitted it and some prohibited it. The view we adopt here in Islamweb is that wearing a wig is permissible with the conditions which we mentioned in Fatwa 90912, especially if wearing it is in order to cover a malformation, because removing a malformation is permissible, and it is for this reason that the Prophet allowed the person whose nose is cut to replace it with a golden nose.

Based on the above-referred Fatwa, it is permissible for you to make a wig for your mother to wear.

For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 87229.

Allaah Knows best.

Can ladies wear wig? And can they modify it by cut short, curling, straightening, coloring, etc.?

Fatwa
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

It appears, Allaah Knows best, that it is permissible to wear a wig if the following conditions are met:

1- It must be pure; there is no harm in putting pure hair on one's head, especially when there is a need for it, like a woman beautifying herself for her husband.

2- It must not be joined to one’s hair; some scholars concluded from the narration which reads: "Allaah has cursed the woman who joins the hair and the woman to whom the hair is joined…" [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim], that it is permissible to put hair on one’s head without joining it to the original hair.

3- It must not resemble the shape of dissolute or non-Muslim women. Also, it must not resemble men’s hair; since if it is permissible to wear the wig, then there is no harm in trimming it, straightening it and colouring it, but it should not be shortened to an extent that it resembles men's hair.

However, it is more appropriate for a woman who does not need to wear such a wig to avoid it.

Allaah Knows best.

Distressed be careful on attempting to apply a fawta that doesn't apply.

The Muslim sister was requesting for her non Muslim mother for one. You then made the admission that you couldn't locate the fatwa for extensions then continue to provide your own fawta in the end stating it was permissable to use false hair.

Surah An Nisa 4:65

65. But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad

) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Ali Imran 3:164

164. Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad

) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur'an), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur'an) and Al-Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet

(i.e. his legal ways, statements, acts of worship, etc.)], while before that they had been in manifest error. (Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Al A'raf 7:157

157. Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e.Muhammad

) whom they find written with them in the Taurat (Torah) (Deut, xviii, 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16), - he commands them for Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained); and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); he allows them as lawful At-Taiyibat [(i.e. all good and lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.], and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khaba'ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.), he releases them from their heavy burdens (of Allah's Covenant), and from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad

), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur'an) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.

Question: Is a woman allowed to wear wigs or have extensions added to her hair?
Answered by Sheikh Fahd b. `Abd al-Rahmân al-Yahyâ, professor at al-Imâm University in al-Qasîm

It is not permissible for a Muslim to wear wigs or hair extensions. Ibn Mas’ud – may Allah be pleased with him – reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “ Cursed is the wâsilah and the mustawsilah.” That is: the woman who connects extentions to another’s hair and the woman who sits to have this done to her hair. Wigs are perhaps even greater in their sinfulness.

Some scholars, however, say that it is permissible for a woman to wear a wig if she has no hair for some reason, that is, if she is bald. Part of a woman’s beauty is in her hair, so it becomes permissible for her to wear a wig to ease the hardship she might otherwise have to undergo.

And Allah knows best.

Ruling concerning wearing wigs​

Question: Is it allowed for a woman to use a wig to beautify herself for her husband? Is this considered part of the prohibition of adding hair to one's hair?

Response: 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.

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen
Fataawa al-Mar.ah

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

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.

Ruling on hair transplants​

Question:
Is it permissible to have a hair transplant? Please note that I am bald. Or is it haraam like hair extensions, or not?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

Hair transplant refers to moving the hair follicles from one area of a person’s head to another. The ruling on that is that it is permissible, because it is aimed at correcting a fault, not at changing the creation of Allaah.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:

Hair transplants are done for one who has become bald by taking hair from the back of the head and transplanting it in the bald spot. Is that permissible?

He replied:

Yes, that is permissible, because this comes under the heading of restoring that which Allaah has created, or correcting a fault; it does not come under the heading of cosmetic procedures or adding to what Allaah has created, so it is not regarded as changing the creation of Allaah. Rather it is restoring something that is lacking or removing a fault. There is the well-known story of the three people, one of whom was bald and said that he wished that Allaah would restore his hair, so the angel touched him and Allaah restored his hair and gave him beautiful hair.

Fatawa ‘Ulama’ al-Balad al-Haraam, p. 1185.

The hadeeth referred to by the Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) was narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3277, and Muslim, 2964.

And Allaah knows best.

A woman shaving her head to treat alopecia

Fatwa Date : 02 Jamada El Thaniah 1431 / 16-05-2010

Question

Assalaamu alaikum, My questions are mainly related to my alopecia. I cant seem to get a clear cut answer, but before i do anything i want to be sure that im islamically correct in what I do. 1) Can i shave my whole head (if my condition gets worse & unmanegable ) on health grounds ? 2) Am i allowed to get my patches shaved by a barber who is most likely going to be a male who i dont know who specialises in alopecia ? 3) Can i wear a wig ? Ive mixed answers on this, so i dont know whats right ? I have bought some extensions, but ive read somewhere these are haram..so ive not used them yet. If any of these can be clarified i would be grateful. thanks for your help.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The scholars are of the view that it is disliked for a woman to shave her head; this was stated by Ibn Qudaamah from the Hanbali School of jurisprudence, and Shihaab Ad-Deen Ar-Ramli from the Shaafi’i School of jurisprudence.

For instance, Ar-Ramli said: “Some scholars made an exception for the dislikeability of shaving the head for a woman if she is harmed in her head and this harm cannot be removed except by shaving her hair in order to treat acne and the like.”

Moreover, Al-Buhooti from the Hanbali School of jurisprudence, said: “It is disliked for her (a woman) to shave her head or cut it without a sound reason, because Al-Khallaal reported from Qataadah from ‘Ikrimah who said: “The Prophet prohibited for a woman to shave her head.”, and if there is a sound reason like the ulcers (of the scalp), then it is not disliked. However, it is forbidden for her to shave her head when a calamity befalls her, like her slapping her cheeks and tearing her garments.” Based on this, a woman shaving her head is not disliked when there is a necessity.

As regards a woman having her head shaven by a non-Mahram man, then this is not permissible as he is not permitted to touch any part of her body. At-Tabaraani reported that Ma’qil Ibn Yasaar narrated that the Prophet said: "If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it would be better for him than touching a woman whom he is not permitted to touch."

However, if there is no other female barber and it is a necessity for her to shave her head as an indispensable treatment, then it becomes permissible for her to shave her head by this male barber. The jurists stated that looking at a non-Mahram woman and touching her are permissible for cupping and venesection and for treatment, and they also stated that a husband or a Mahram should be present with her.

In regard to wearing a wig, it is permissible according to the most preponderant opinion provided some conditions are met. These conditions are clarified in Fatwa 90912, so please refer to them.

Concerning joining the hair, it is forbidden; in this regard you may refer to Fataawa 82883 and 87969.

Allaah Knows best.

Peace be to you serena77:

After anyone sincerely accepts Islam their past sins are forgiven. If you are not provided evidence (Dalil) from Quran and the Sunna of Nabi (Prophet) Muhammad (

) via authentic sources the Sahih Sitta (Six sound sources of ahadith: Bukhari, Muslim, Muwatta of Imam Malik, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan An Nasa, Sunan Ibn Majah - http://store.dar-us-salam.com/category/Eng_Hadith.html) continue to research until you find the sound evidence. I suggest never to follow the opinions which are many but the evidence.

Surah Ali Imran 3:31

31. Say (O Muhammad

to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

 

[Muhaba]

I read a hadith which stated that a woman lost her hair because of an illness and it was inquired whether she could wear a wig because she was married, but the Prophet (SAW) didn't allow her to. (not sure of exact wording of hadith.) So even if one loses their hair due to an illness, they are not allowed to wear wigs.

I also read that dying hair with henna is allowed for men and women. On the other hand, hair color that coats the hair and keeps it from getting wet during wudu or ghusl isn't allowed because the wudu/ghusl will not be complete. and this goes for men and women. Hair color that dyes the hair without coating the hair with a film or that bleaches the hair is like henna, imo so i don't see why it wouldn't be allowed for men or women. does anyone have evidence that states such isn't allowed.

Tattooing is haram for men and women.

You don't have to remove it if it is too difficult or harmful for you. But it is better to remove it if possible.

Fatwa from Islamqa:


Ruling on leaving a tattoo on the body or a gold tooth after finding out that it is haraam
What is the ruling on leaving a tattoo on the body after finding out that it is haraam? Also what about leaving a gold tooth which a Muslim had done when he was unaware (of the ruling), but if he has it removed after knowing that it is haraam, it will leave a gap in his mouth?

Praise be to Allaah.

Please note that tattoos on the body are haraam, because it was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who makes hair extensions and the one who asks for that to be done, and the one who does tattoos and the one who asks for them to be done. If a Muslim does that when he is unaware of the fact that it is haraam, or that is done to him when he is a child, then he has to remove it when he comes to know that it is haraam. But if removing it is too difficult or will cause him harm, then it is sufficient for him to repent and seek forgiveness, and it will not matter if he leaves the mark on his body. With regard to having a gold tooth fitted when it is not needed, this is not permissible, because gold is haraam for men, unless there it is necessary for some valid reason. I understood from your question that you did that for the purpose of beautification, so you have to remove it. You can have it replaced with something else that is made of permissible material, other than gold. May Allaah help us all to do that which pleases Him. Wa’l-salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allaah wa barakaatuhu.



and another:


She has a tattoo from before she was Muslim
When I was kafir I got a tattoo on my shoulder.Alhumdillah I am now Muslim, My husband is fine about it Alhumdillah, however we would like it removed. To have it removed by laser is expensive and I believe it requires burning of the skin and I do not want to rule out for myself being of thoes who will enter Jena without account. Inshallah
I have repented, is there anymore I really need to do?
Jazak Allah Khair.

Praise be to Allaah.

Praise be to Allaah Who has guided you to His Straight Path. I ask Allaah to make you steadfast in following it. As for this tattoo which cannot be removed except through this kind of surgery, you do not have to do this, because it is too difficult and will cause pain and hurt. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning);

“… and [Allaah] has not laid upon you in religion any hardship…” [al-Hajj 22:78]. Your regret and dislike of that, and your determination never to do it again is sufficient. Also, Islam wipes out what came before, so in this case leaving it as it is should not cause you any harm, in sha Allaah. May Allaah help you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.
