May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible for a man to put kohl in his eyes?

Applying kohl is a recommended practice (sunnah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply kohl, night after night. It is beneficial for the eyesight. It is a recommended practice (sunnah), and there is nothing wrong with it.
