Why Am yisrael is suffering so much illness and lack of livelihood, orphans R’L.
Rabbi Ovadya Yosef shilta, has said, regarding wigs, 200 years ago,Rabbi Pinchas Levy Horwitz ZTL, took out a sefer torah, and with 2 talmadei chachmain dayanim.,placed a complete Cherem, on any woman that wears a wig in public. He said on the Sefer Torah, that any woman who wears a wig, will receive the highest ecclesiastical censure.
The reason a wig is prohibted is because it is immodest, doesn’t matter wear it comes from, it remains immodest.
The Vilna Gaon, Chasam Sofer,Rabbi Avraham Palaggi, ZT’L and various other Gaonim prohibted women from wearing wigs.
The Gaon Vosner, Shilta, in his sefer,wrote that any form of wearing a wig is prohibted. Every woman that wished to have sons to be tzadikkim, should remain modest. The biggest problem nowadays is that women think it is allowed and deny the Tzadik’s cherem. Those that make fun of women who are modest and wear kerchiefs, their sin is very great, woe to them.
If a woman want to wear a kerchief and her husband does not let her, he is considered a wicked man, someone that causes other to sin. His Torah is invalid, All his deeds are corrupt.
If we don’t believe our Rabonimm and Poskim that wigs are Prohibted, who are we going to believe?
