Hadith 5248

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَطَبَنَا ، وَأَخَذَ كُبَّةً مِنْ شَعْرٍ ، قَالَ : " مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَحَدًا يَفْعَلُهُ إِلَّا الْيَهُودَ ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلَغَهُ , فَسَمَّاهُ الزُّورَ " .

Explanation & Benefits
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.

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.
