Question:

ruling on how a women should wear her hair. the hadeeth which supports it. Can a women wear her hair up at home and back comb her hair. this is in front of mahram ofcourse
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There are some details about this matter, and we have already mentioned this while quoting the statement of Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen may Allaah have mercy upon him about it; for more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 123190.

The summary of his statement is that if the hair is at the upper part of the head, then this is included in the prohibition that is mentioned in the Hadeeth of keeping the hair like the humps of the Bukht (camels), but if this is at the back of the head, then this is permissible on the condition that the woman covers it when she goes out of her home.

Allaah Knows best.
