Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5249
This hadith about hair extensions is very brief and very serious. Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] cursed the woman who affixes hair extensions. The core topic is the act of attaching or joining hair. The hadith does not list the reasons someone might do it, nor does it discuss other beauty practices. It focuses on the woman who performs this act. Because the wording uses a curse, the text shows that this is not a light matter in the Sunnah. A careful explanation should not add extra cases beyond the report. It should simply highlight that affixing hair extensions is strongly warned against in this narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet [SAW] cursed the woman who affixes hair extensions.
- The wording shows that this act is treated seriously.
- The hadith focuses on the person who attaches the extensions.
- The report should be explained without adding unrelated beauty issues.
