Question

Could you please tell me if its permissible in Islam to have a hair transplant as I have a very receding hair line and sometimes feel like I am gradually getting bald and being a woman I really stress over it?

Answer

If the hair transplant is with human hair, it will be impermissible. Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has cursed the one who uses the hair of another human being.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
