Riyad as-Salihin, 1642

Asma' (May Allah be pleased with her) said:

A woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have a daughter who had an attack of small pox and her hair fell off. Now I want to celebrate her marriage. Can I get her a wig?" Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has cursed the maker and wearer of a wig." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعَنْ أسْمَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عنْهَا: أنَّ امْرأَةً سألتِ النبيَّ ﷺ فَقَالتْ: يا رَسُولَ اللَّه، إنَّ ابْنَتِي أصَابَتْهَا الْحَصْبةُ، فتَمَرَّقَ شَعْرُهَا، وإنِّي زَوَّجْتُها، أفَأَصِلُ فِيهِ؟ فقالَ: لَعَنَ اللَّه الْواصِلةَ والْمَوصولة متفقٌ عليه. وفي روايةٍ: الواصِلَةَ والمُسْتوصِلَةَ. قَوْلَهَا:"فَتَمرَّقَ"هو بالرَّاءِ، ومعناهُ: انْتثر وَسَقَطَ،"والْوَاصِلة": التي تَصِلُ شَعْرهَا، أو شَعْر غَيْرِهَا بشَعْرٍ آخَرَ."والمَوْصُولة": التي يُوصَلُ شَعْرُهَا. "والمُستَوصِلَةُ": التي تَسْأَلُ منْ يَفْعَلُ ذلكَ لَهَا.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) It is prohibited to add hair extensions, which include wigs. This is a major sin, as it brings curse from Allah Almighty. Why do some men stand idly by while their women commit such a grave sin?!<br> 2) Adding hair extensions is one of the practices of the Jews with whom Allah Almighty is displeased. So, we should be extremely careful not to follow their way or imitate their acts, for “he who imitates a people is one of them”.
