Wearing this type of hair for men or real hair extensions women aren't haram but if it was from some non-Muslims who are not Ahlul kitab, then it would be najis according to many scholars.

In fact, it is a very good thing. Although you might think that you are distracted, or your mind is somewhere else, but getting used to remembering Almighty God frequently is a wonderful quality.

It will minimise the chance of committing sin, and also keeping you vigilant and alert. Gradually, while multi-tasking, you will be able to master your concentration, and it will all have positive impact as well.

With prayers for your success.

Head . Hair . Scalp . Masah . Wudu (Ablution)

When I wipe my head during Wudhu, I use my other hand to adjust my hair so that I can reach the scalp. However, when I do adjust that the hair already gets wet by my other hand. Is this valid?

The place of Mas-h مسح in Wudhu must be dry before wiping over it. Your other hand is making it wet before wiping which is wrong.

Face . Hair . Feet . Nose . Wudu (Ablution) . Meaning . Salah (Prayers)

I think I have been doing Wudhu wrong all along. I have only been washing my face, arms, hair and feet, but not the nose or mouth. Does this mean my prayers have not been valid?

Neither washing nose is obligatory in Wudhu nor washing mouth. Both of them are just recommended and not obligatory. Washing head or feet in Wudhu is wrong because you should wipe over them and not wash them.

If you are sure that your Wudhu was invalid, you need to perform it properly and re do the prayers which were done with wrong Wudhu.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Hair . Head . Wudu (Ablution) . Masah

Is my Ghusl valid if while doing my Wudu during Ghusl I joined my 4 fingers to wipe my hair instead of 3 joined fingers whilst wiping my head?

Bismihi ta'ala

You will not be able to do both wudhu' and ghusl simultaneously and at once.

So, you can either do wudhu' before ghusl, or after ghusl.

When you wipe your head during wudhu', you can use four fingers, or three fingers. Both cases are fine.

And Allah knows best.

Human . Hair . Wig

Are synthetic wigs allowed given that they are not made out of human hair?

Synthetic wigs are allowed whether made out of human hair or out of any other material. The point is when the wigs are planted in the skin, such wigs prevent water from reaching to the skin and makes a problem in the Wudhu. If wigs are removed before performing Wudhu then there is no problem at all. Wigs can be even worn after performing Wudhu while performing Salah Namaz if the wigs are Tahir. In case Wigs are made of human hair from Najis source like Mushriks then Salah with such Najis hair will be invalid.
