Women tying the hair at the back
Question
I heard that it is not permissible for a girl to tie her hair like a camel hump. I tie my hair by rounding it with a clip but I don't tie it too up. If I I tie my hair at the bottom of the head, is it permissible?
Answer
Yes, if it is somewhere near the neck.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
