حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قالا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ جَارِيَةً مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ تَزَوَّجَتْ وَأَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ فَتَمَرَّطَ شَعَرُهَا فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوهُ ، فَسَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ : " فَلَعَنَ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ " .
A'isha reported that a girl of the Ansar who had fallen ill and had lost the hair was married. They (her relatives) thought of adding false hair (to her head). so they asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it, whereupon he cursed the woman who adds false hair and the woman who asks for it.

From this hadith, it is understood that if a husband commands something contrary to the ruling of the Shari‘ah, then if the wife does not comply with it, there will be no sin upon her.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
It is understood from this hadith that it is not permissible to engage in non-shari‘ah-compliant beautification in order to please the husband. Nowadays, so-called enlightened women perform many non-shari‘ah acts for artificial beauty that are attractive to men. Among these is the use of artificial hair wigs. This is prohibited because such acts are done by immoral and shameless women, and it is also tantamount to altering the creation of Allah.
(2)
In any case, it is understood from this hadith that if the husband commands something contrary to the shari‘ah, the woman should not obey him. In such circumstances, she will not incur any sin, nor will this act be considered as disobedience to the husband.
Wallahu al-musta‘an.
