Question:

Jazakum Allah Khairan and may we benefit from your knowledge. But there is one part of the question that was left unanswered, I wish that it will be noticed (by our Sheikh) that is, what is its ruling over all (bil kuliyah)? I.e. if the woman was in her house, is it allowed for her to wear the wig? Or does this take the ruling of "al Wasila wal Mustawsila" (the one who adds the hair extension to someone's hair and the one who has it added to her hair)?

Answer:

Wa Alaikumu Assalaam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

We have previously answered this issue and published it on the website:

Since it is forbidden (for the woman) to wear the wig when going out because it is tabarruj (revealing the charms); and we mentioned that the dress in the public life has three requirements that go hand in hand: it covers the ‘Awra, is not tabarruj, and to wear the jilbab.

Wearing a wig is tabarruj, therefore it is not permitted to go out wearing it unless there is a khimar (head cover) that covers it entirely.
If you mean by the word "kuliyah" a University College, and if a woman can wear a wig there, then, it is not permissible to wear the wig there. But it is allowed to wear it inside her house but only to be seen wearing it by her mahrams and husband. But her brother-in-law (her husband's brother) is not allowed to see the wig on her head.

As for the meaning of the wig as "al Wasila wal Mustawsila", then the matter is not so, because "al Wasila is the one who attaches hair extension to the hair to increase its length, and it is not to wear a wig on top of the hair, but it is connecting another hair (extension) to the hair to make it look longer; this is haram anywhere a woman may be in, even in her house. This is according to the hadith extracted by Bukhari on the authority of Abu Huraira(ra) that the Prophet (saw) said: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الوَاصِلَةَ وَالمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ...» "Allah cursed al Wasila wal Mustawsila"
