What is the ruling on wearing a white or milky-colored wig, which is imposed on a lawyer for the purpose of appearing before the High Courts, knowing that not wearing it prevents him from doing so?
It has been previously stated that wearing wigs is forbidden and is considered an unlawful extension (of hair). However, the head covering worn by a lawyer is not included in this prohibition, as it differs from a wig in appearance, color, and manner of wearing. It is not worn for adornment but is a customary professional tradition, and it does not involve deception. The consideration remains to avoid imitating disbelievers in such attire unless it is common among both Muslim and disbeliever practitioners of this profession, or if it is obligatory.
