Is it permissible for a woman to have her hair straightened by a man, knowing that the questioner wears a hijab and does this to please her husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for the wife to do that to please her husband, because there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. She must inform her husband that whoever approves of his wife committing a reprehensible act is considered a cuckold (dayyūth), and a cuckold is deprived of Paradise.
