Call me ignorant but I was surprised when my Turkish and Cypriot classmates mentioned that wigs in their countries are very popular amongst Muslim women, substituting for their headscarves. The reason behind that is not staying under fashion while maintaining religion, as one may think, but rather because of the ‘ideology’ of hijab. Secularism is so very extreme to the extent that an employee might get sacked from his job if a member of his family is a muhajaba!
1- We all know that wigs are forbidden in Islam. Are they, in this case, an exception?
2- Hijab is supposed to cover a woman’s hair and hide her beauty. Wigs obviously don’t do the job, and might sometimes prove more attractive. Should a muhajaba expose her real hair, or conceal it with a wig, even if it enhances her beauty?
3- If a girl had to choose between her education and hijab, or a man had to choose between his job and his mother’s hijab, are they sinners if they both chose the former?
