Using a wig and performing wudhu and salaah with a wig
Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2020-09-24 07:53
Q:
1. Is it permissible in Islam to use a hair patch (wig) for a better look/personality.
2. If yes, then is it permissible to perform wudhu and salaah while using the wig?
3. While using a permanent wig, which is stuck with gum on the head, and cannot be removed, can one do masah over the wig while making wudhu?
A:
1. It is permissible to use a wig provided it is not made from human hair and swine hair.
2. Yes, the salaah will be valid.
3. One should not use a permanent wig as it will prevent the masah and fardh ghusl from being valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
