Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2017-11-02 07:34

Q: I'm male and suffer from male pattern baldness and as a result I'm wearing a wig to only cover the top part of my head, the rest of my hair is my own.

1. Am I allowed to wear the wig while I perform Umrah?

2. If not, and I continue wearing it do I have to pay dumm?

3. How much is the dumm and what do I need to do?

A:

1. No.

2. Yes.

3. If the wig was on your head for a duration of 12 hours or more then you will have to give a dum i.e. slaughter a sheep or goat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
