“You jump to conclusions. This sefer quotes verbatim what the gedolim have said about wigs.”

Sorry that it has upset you, its not you, its this and many others that have been circulating the same misinformed “verbatim” quotes..

Most of those psakim are either irrelevant today, misrepresented or taken out of context.

As there is – a) no “Maris Ayin” once most Charedim don Pe’ah Nuchris, (see Magen Geborim and MB – quoted earlier) nor is it an issue of ‘Das Yehudis’ (which was an issue at the times these most Teshvos prohibiting were written – almost all charedi women covered their hair) as it is now the custom of almost all.

I will quote once again:

ז”ל בא”ד: וגם גוף הדבר לחוש בפיאה נכרית משום מראית העין לפע”ד – ברבים שנהגו כן – לא שייך מראית עין דלא חשידי וכו’ וכש”כ בזה שכל הנשים נהגו כן האיך אפשר דכלהו יעברו על דת משה ויהודית … וע”כ ישפטו הכל שהוא פאה נכרית.

– מגן גבורים

So to go and quote many Achronim who prohibited it in times where and when it was considered a breach in Tzenius is sort of “מגלה פנים בתורה שלא כהלכה.

Again I have no issue with you or DM and others as you are just merely reading a sefer or book, it is these agenda picking and choosing quotes that these mechabrim decide to quote.

You know what the Rambam writes in the Igros Teman about simple “quoting” ?
