hairs or hair that is all the same colour. What is the ruling on that?
Praise be to Allah.
It is not permissible for awoman to attach other hair to her hair
(hair extensions) because of the warning against hairextensions.
Al-Bukhaari (5937) and Muslim (2122) narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may
Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah curse the one who adds
hair extensions and the one who has them added, the one who does
tattoos and the onewho has them done."
Muslim (2126) narrated that Jaabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased
with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
forbade women to attach anything to their head.
This is general in meaning and applies to anything that may be
attached to the head. Hence some of the scholars are of the view that
it is haraam to attach string, fabric and the like to the hair; others
are of the opinion that what is haraam is attaching hair to it.
An-Nawawi said in SharhMuslim: al-Qaadi 'Iyaad said: The scholars
differed concerning this issue. Maalik, at-Tabari and many or most of
the scholars said that attaching anything is prohibited, whether it is
hair, wool, or cloth. Theyquoted as evidence for that the hadeeth of
Jaabir which was narrated by Muslim, according to which the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade women to attach
anything to their head.
Al-Layth ibn Sa'd said: The prohibition applies specifically to
attaching hair; there is nothing wrong with attaching wool, cloth and
so on. Others said: All of that is permissible. This is narrated from
'Aa'ishah, but it is not narrated from her in a saheeh report; rather
the saheeh report from her is in accordance with theview of the
majority.
Al-Qaadi said: With regard to tying strings ofcoloured silk and the
like which does not resemble hair, that is notprohibited because it
does not come under theheading of attaching hair extensions and it
does not serve the same purpose as hair extensions; rather it is done
for the purpose of beautification and adornment. In the hadeeth it
states that doing hair extensions is a major sin for which the one who
does it is cursed; it also shows thatthe one who helps in doing
something haraam has a share of the burden of sin with the one who
does it, justas the one who helps in an act of obedience has a share
of the reward. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a fatwa
forbidding doing hair extensions with artificialhair.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: How sound is this hadeeth
and what is meant by it: May Allah curse the one who adds hair
extensions and the one who has them added…"? Does it refer to hair
that is made fromhair that has fallen out (i.e., natural hair), or
hair that is manufactured from fibres and other artificialmaterials?
He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: The one who does hair
extensions is the one who attaches them to the head of another woman,
and the woman who has them added is the one who asks for that to be
done to her. Attaching hair to the hair of the head (hair extensions)
is haraam; indeed it is a major sin, because the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who does that.
The scholars differed concerning attaching something other than hair
to the hair. Some of them said that it is not permissible, because the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade women to
attach anything to their hair, and the word anything is general in
meaning and includes hair and other things.
Based on that, it is not permissible to attach to the natural hair
artificialhair that resembles the hair created by Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted; rather that is included in this hadeeth.This
hadeeth contains a stern warning to the onewho does that, because the
Messenger (blessingsand peace of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah
curse the one who adds hair extensions andthe one who has them added."
What is meant by being cursed is being excluded and banished far away
from the mercyof Allah. The scholars have stated that every sin for
which Allah, may He be exalted, has decreed the punishment of being
cursed is a major sin.
End quote from Fataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb.
If the hair ties asked about here include hair that is mixed with the
hair on the head so that it appears to be attachedto it, then it comes
under the heading of hair extensions which are haraam.
And Allah knows best.
