Quran
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
"He who created me, and He guides me; and He who feeds me and gives me drink; and when I am ill, it is He who cures me."
Surah Ash-Shu'ara · 26:78-80
Sahih Hadith
لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَالْمُتَشَبِّهَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بِالرِّجَالِ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed men who make themselves resemble women and women who make themselves resemble men."
This hadith is relevant to male pattern baldness as it establishes the permissibility of maintaining natural masculine appearance, thus treatments to address hair loss are acceptable within Sharia boundaries.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَيِّرُوا الشَّيْبَ وَلاَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِالْيَهُودِ
"The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Change the white hair and do not resemble the Jews.'"
This hadith addresses hair modification and appearance maintenance, establishing prophetic precedent for caring about hair appearance and taking measures to address hair-related conditions including loss.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْتَضِبُ
"I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) applying henna dye."
This hadith demonstrates the Prophet's attention to hair care and grooming, supporting the legitimacy of addressing hair-related conditions including baldness.
