What is the ruling on styling hair in a high bun at home, and does it fall under the warning mentioned in the Hadith: "their heads are like the humps ofinclined camels"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The fatwa we adopt permits a woman to style her hair in a bun (ka’ka) whether at home or outside, provided it is covered with a hijab. This is not included in the hadith, as stated in Fatwa No. 125891. Fatwa No. 133862 cited the opinion of some scholars who deemed it impermissible, but it did not give preference to this view. Rather, it mentioned that refraining from it is more cautious and absolves one from blame. Therefore, there is no contradiction between the two fatwas.
