(xxi). AURAT KA MASNUEE BAAL JORNA [Wigs, Extensions & Hair pieces]

WIGS, EXTENSIONS AND HAIR PIECES

Women wearing extensions in their hair, or other false hair in order to lengthen it thereby changing the creation of Allah as the Jews do. An exception may be made if the woman has no hair at all, in which case some scholars have allowed it in order that she may beautify herself for her husband. Al-Bukhari and Muslim have recorded a hadeeth from Mu’awiyyah, may Allah be pleased with him, about the artificial lengthening of the hair, he said,

“The Children of Israel were destroyed when they started using this.”‘ Mu’awiyyah said, “I did not see anyone doing it except the Jews.” [1]

And “those who received the Book before you” are the Jews and the Christians.
