HAIR DRESSING & COMBING

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) did not forget this item of cleanliness. He said: "Whoso has got hair let him honour it." This means oiling, combing & cleansing the hair. He always kept guard over his hair & kept them in proper order by parting them from the middle of the head. He once said to a man: "Is this (combing) not better than that one of you should come while he is dishevelled in hair as if he is a devil?" He directed his companions to shave, shorten or clip their moustaches, to preserve health, to keep beard, to shave the hair of the private parts, to pair nails & to shave the hair of the armpit.

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used antimony (Surma) with paint-stick every night before going to bed as it brightens eye-sight & grows hair on eyebrows.

Islam does not approve the wearing of a wig for man & women. The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has made it clear that wearing a wig is prohibited. He indeed cursed a woman who requests another to help her attach hair to her own hair, in order to give her a false appearance & the one who gives such help. This area is an extension of the Islamic principle that falsehood is rejected. Wearing hair over one's own gives a false appearance & therefore, is forbidden.
