Is it permissible for a woman to style her hair "like the humps of tilted Bukht camels" at home in front of her husband and unmarriageable kin (mahram), without going out in public with it?
There are several interpretations for "their heads are like the humps of camels":
1. The well-known interpretation: Exaggerating the size of the heads with head coverings (khumur) and turbans until they resemble the humps of camels.
2. Al-Mazari's interpretation: Women aspiring to men and not lowering their gaze from them.
3. Al-Qadi's preferred interpretation: Combing with the "mayla" comb, which involves braiding the forelocks, tightening them, and gathering them at the top of the head so they become like the humps of camels, or gathering and increasing the amount of hair braids (aqaa'is) until they lean to one side of the head.
This hairstyle is absolutely forbidden, whether at home, among women, when going out, or in the presence of non- men.
