Question
Just wanted to ask, is it allowed to pray salaam with hair extensions. Like if its braided onto your hair?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible for women to use hair extensions provided they are not made of human or pig hair.[1]
Accordingly, assuming the hair is covered properly when performing salah, the salah is valid.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
