First of all, it should be clear that Hijab is meant to preserve Muslim woman’s dignity. Like all other Shari`ah-based commands, Hijab should be given due care, for it brings about countless fruits and wards off evils. It is an obligatory act for Muslim woman in Islam and it is not allowed for her not to wear hijab except in case of necessity. So, it depends upon a muslim woman’s need for this job. If she necessarily need this job to earn a living and there are no alternatives available, she may use the choice of wig under these conditions.
Dr. Monzer Kahf, a prominent economist and counselor states: “If a lady finds herself in this situation and cannot move to any other country that allows Hijab in all jobs and if she need this job, I suggest that for picture only use a wig and take the job.”
Moreover, the eminent Muslim scholar and renowned Da`iyah, Sheikh `Abdel Khaliq Hasan Ash-Shareef, adds: “Our muslim sisters in this situation may do the least evil between the two wrongs. This means they are allowed to give them a picture with a wig, provided that one of their mahrams or a female photographer take the picture for them.
