حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ ، سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ آخِرَ قَدْمَةٍ قَدِمَهَا فَخَطَبَنَا ، فَأَخْرَجَ كُبَّةً مِنْ شَعَرٍ قَالَ : " مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَحَدًا يَفْعَلُ هَذَا غَيْرَ الْيَهُودِ ، إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمَّاهُ الزُّورَ " ، يَعْنِي الْوَاصِلَةَ فِي الشَّعَرِ .

Hadith Commentary:
The meaning of "zūr" is falsehood, invalidity, and slander.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) described the attachment of artificial hair as "zūr" because doing so is deception and a change to the creation of Allah.
All these narrations refute the narration reported from Aisha (radi Allahu anha) in which the use of artificial hair for a bald woman is deemed permissible.
According to that narration, this prohibition was specifically regarding those women who engaged in prostitution and, in order to attract their clients, would attach artificial hair to their own to make it appear longer.
In any case, the narration reported from Aisha (radi Allahu anha) is a fabrication of lies.
(Fath al-Bari: 10/462)
And Allah knows best.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The meaning of "az-zur" is: "falsehood, lie, fabrication," etc. The reason this act is called "zur" is also this: it is a deception that someone attaches another person's hair to their own head and shows people that these are their own hair. This is impermissible.
