A Toupee As A Yarmulke
Can a man fulfill his obligation to cover his head by wearing a toupee - or does this get away from the true intent of wearing a yarmulke?
Can anyone think of another example of a person fulfilling a mitzva in technicality but not in intent?

I think every Mitzva can qualify there...
Very true. I guess I looked right past the obvious on this one...
R. Moshe Feinstein ruled that a toupee is insufficient.
The shaitel of course.
That's why I don't wear them (except maybe on Purim)
Gil and Batya: It looks like Rivka K's comment touched on both of your ideas, however Gil, she seems to contradict your information about Igros Moshe. Do you happen to have a citation to validate your comment (which undoubtedly is correct)?
my Father zal asked Reb moshe zatzal wheather he could make a bracha with a toupee on and he answered that he had to put on his hat to make a bracha and eat.
Hey, I already copyrighted the "Meitel".
PT: How much do I owe you for my copyright infrigement?
You have to come up with a picture and name for your own model.
