Question

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahib You have answered the question in terms of a hair straightener for women, as being valid. Does this also apply to men. There are many ways to straiten hair, one way is to use a comb like device which uses steam to straiten. A reply would me greatly appreciated. Jazakallah Khayr.

Answer

As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Dear respected brother in Islam,

It is permissible for males to use hair strighteners to strighten their hair.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
