The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth gives no ruling: he jokes about the wording and muses on hair loss in women and men.

In more detail

Reading a question on whether bald women have to wear hijab, Mufti Abu Layth jokes that fortune favours the bold, then says women are not bald unless through illness or certain conditions. He wonders whether hair loss is a substantial issue for women, notes that it is a huge one for men, and remarks that worrying about hair loss itself contributes to losing more hair, so the game is rigged.
