If so, I will stop’. He -saww said: ‘You can still do it but when doing a hair dressing do not clean the face with Al-Khiraq (tatter); it takes away the beauty of the face, and do not connect someone else’s hair to another person’s hair’.

The Imam -asws replied: ‘There is no offense in women’s beautifying themselves for their husbands’. I (the narrator) said: ‘We are told that the Messenger of Allah -saww had condemned hair connecting and the women who have used such means to beautify themselves. The Imam -asws said: ‘It does not apply in this case. The Messenger of Allah -saww had condemned only the connectors who commit fornication when they are young and when old lead men and women to commit fornication.
