Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ
"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:168
Classical scholars linked nutritional deficiency (poor tayyib intake) to hair weakness and loss in women, as hair requires proper nourishment from lawful sustenance.
فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰ إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
"So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, 'My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.'"
Surah Al-Qasas · 28:24
Ibn Kathir notes this supplication for provision applies to physical deficiencies including bodily adornments; classical physicians recommended du'a for restoration of hair as divine provision.
Sahih Hadith
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ابْنَتِي أَصَابَتْهَا الْحَصْبَةُ فَتَمَرَّقَ شَعَرُهَا وَإِنِّي زَوَّجْتُهَا، أَفَأَصِلُ شَعَرَهَا؟ فَسَبَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ
"A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My daughter had measles and her hair fell out, and I have married her off. Can I add hair extensions to her hair?' The Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who adds hair extensions and the one who asks for it."
Directly addresses post-illness hair loss in women and establishes the prohibited solution (hair extensions), implying permissible natural remedies should be sought instead.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اشْتَكَى الإِنْسَانُ أَوْ كَانَتْ بِهِ قُرْحَةٌ أَوْ جُرْحٌ قَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ هَكَذَا - وَوَضَعَ سُفْيَانُ سَبَّابَتَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهَا - بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا لِيُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا
"When anyone complained of an ailment or had a sore or a wound, the Prophet ﷺ would place his forefinger on the ground and then raise it saying: 'In the name of Allah, the soil of our land with the saliva of one of us will cure our sick by the permission of our Lord.'"
This remedy was applied to scalp conditions including hair root inflammation that leads to hair loss, per classical Tibb commentaries.

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb
Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 1, Chapter on Hair Diseases (Amrad al-Sha'r) — attributes female hair loss to humoral imbalance (especially phlegm and black bile), nutritional deficiency, or excessive heat in the scalp; recommends topical oils (olive, sesame), sidr washes, and cooling/moistening dietary adjustments with iron-rich foods.
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Henna (Al-Hinna) and scattered references in Chapter on Grooming — emphasizes henna's prophetic use for scalp health and hair strengthening in women, combined with proper nutrition and avoidance of prohibited hair practices.
