QUESTION:

As Salamu Alaikum,

I suffer from alopecia where the entire top of my head is bald. My husband asks from time to time what is wrong and I feel bad. Is it permissible for me to wear a wig of added hair to make me look good for my husband.

Thank you in advance for your response

ANSWER:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

In this situation, it will be allowed for you to wear a wig with added hair. However, the hair used on the wig must not be human hair. It can be made of animal or even synthetic hair.
