Commentary
Despite the excuse, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not allow her to add artificial hair, even though the adornment for the pleasure of the husband is a religious demand. It informs us that this prohibition is not of that of dislike, instead it is a definite unlawful thing. The curse on it is also a proof of its total prohibition, because a curse is not spelt out just for something disliked.
