Answer:
Artificial Hair/wig
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 7.817 Narrated by Aisha
An Ansari girl was
married and she became sick and all her hair fell out. Intending to provide her
with false hair, they asked the Prophet (saws) who said, "Allah has cursed
the lady who artificially lengthens (her or someone else's) hair, and also the one who gets her hair
lengthened."
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 7.133 Narrated by Aisha
An Ansari woman
gave her daughter in marriage and the hair of the latter started falling out.
The Ansari women came to the Prophet (saws) and mentioned that to him and said,
"Her (my daughter's) husband suggested that I should let her wear false
hair." The Prophet (saws) said,
"No, (don't do that) for Allah sends His curses upon such ladies who
lengthen their hair artificially."
Although the prohibition is towards the lengthening of
one’s hair, the majority of the scholars opine that the believing woman who
sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, must abstain from adorning her hair
with any artificial hair, regardless of whether it is made of real hair or not;
that would be safest and purest for her in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
Burhan
