What is the difference in the ruling regarding the impermissibility of a wife wearing a wig for her husband for adornment, on the grounds of imitating disbelievers, compared to the permissibility of her wearing short clothes for her husband for adornment, despite the presence of the same reason of imitating disbelievers in both matters? And is it true that either spouse can request from the other what they desire in the manner they wish?
It is permissible for a woman to wear short and tight clothing in front of her husband, and this is not considered imitation of disbelievers, because the forbidden imitation of them is in matters that are specific to them. As for wearing a wig, what is forbidden of it is that which involves prohibited hair extensions. If it is so, then it is an imitation of disbelieving women, because believing women do not do that which involves disobedience. If it does not involve prohibited hair extensions, then there is no imitation of disbelieving women in it. It is prescribed for each spouse to adorn themselves for the other in ways they desire, within the bounds of what does not contravene Islamic rulings.
