Summary
Implanting synthetic hair is permitted when the patient has no hair of their own to transplant. The conditions are that the purpose is treatment to remove a defect or ailment, that it poses no health risk and is done with expert advice, and that the material comes from a pure source. Using material from forbidden or impure sources, such as pig hair, hair from carcasses, or hair of animals whose meat is not eaten, is prohibited.
