Is it unlawful for a woman to raise the hair of her head to its middle and wear the headscarf over it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Raising the hair of the head without exaggerating it with anything else is not forbidden. And the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Two types of people from the Fire I have not seen: women who are clothed yet naked, inclining [to evil] and causing [others] to incline; their heads are like the humps of leaning camels," refers to those who exaggerate their heads with some clothing or added hair until it becomes like a camel's hump, as mentioned by An-Nawawi.
