What is the ruling on a husband taking some of his wife’s hair (whether from her head or elsewhere) and placing it in a bag or small piece of cloth to wear around his neck, due to his absence from her for months, his intense love for her, and his desire to have something of hers accompany him?
Doing that neither brings benefit nor wards off harm. It is more appropriate to bury what has separated from the human body rather than hanging it. If this action is not accompanied by a false belief, then there is no apparent reason to forbid it; the default rule for customs is permissibility.
