[Q 515] Using Heat-Resistant Synthetic Hair

QUESTION:

Salam can we use these type of hair products thats are not contain real hair
High temperature fiber hair (often called “heat-friendly” or “heat-resistant” synthetic hair)

ANSWER:

It is permissible for women to use artificial hair products that do not contain pig hair or human hair. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that during Wudu (ritual ablution) and Ghusl (ritual bath), wiping (Masah – wiping over the head) over such artificial hair or letting water flow over it will not suffice for the validity of Wudu and Ghusl. Rather, it is necessary to remove it and ensure that water is passed over or wiping is done directly on the natural hair underneath.
