Wearing wigs and hairpieces, whether made from natural or artificial hair, for men and women
Asmaa' bint Abi Bakr said: "A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a daughter who is going to be married; she had a fever and lost much of her hair - can I give attach false hair to her head?' He said: 'Allah has cursed the one who attaches false hair and the one who has this done.'" (Reported by Muslim, 3/1676).
Jaabir Ibn 'Abdullah said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) issued strict instructions that no woman should add anything to her head." (Reported by Muslim, 3/1679).
Examples of this include the things known nowadays as wigs and hair extensions, and the many evil things with which salons are crowded. Also included are the artificial wigs worn by some actors and actresses who have no morals.
Men resembling women and women resembling men, in dress, speech and appearance
Part of the fitrah (natural inclinations of mankind) is that men should preserve the masculinity which Allah has created in them, and women should preserve the femininity which Allah has created in them. Without this, decent human life becomes impossible. Men resembling women and vice versa is something which goes against man's innate nature (fitrah) and opens the door to corruption and widespread promiscuity. The ruling in Sharee’ah is that when it is stated that the person who does a thing is cursed, that thing is haram. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah has cursed the men who make themselves look like women and the women who make themselves look like men." (Reported by Al-Bukhari; see Al-Fath, 10/332).
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) also reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah has cursed effeminate men and masculine women." (Reported by Al-Bukhari, see Al-Fath, 3\10/333).
The resemblance may be in the way they move, walk and speak. Similarly, the two sexes are not permitted to resemble one another in dress or by wearing anything that is specifically for the other sex. So a man is not permitted to wear necklaces, bracelets, anklets or earrings, etc., as is widespread among hippies and the like. Women are not permitted to wear things that are specifically for men, like the thawb (long garment worn by men in Arab countries), shirts, etc.; whatever she wear should be different in style, details and color. The evidence that the two sexes should not resemble one another in dress is found in the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Allah has cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wear men's clothes." (Reported by Abu Dawood, 4/355; see also Sahih Al-Jami', 5071).
