Question:
This question asks: What is the ruling on applying liquid kohl or pencil kohl to the eyes? Does it prevent water from reaching the skin and affect the validity of the ablution? May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
Answer:
Any dye that solidifies on the eye, on the eyelashes, or on the eyelids, or that solidifies on the skin and prevents water from reaching it, is not permissible. As for a dye that does not solidify and is merely a color on the skin, it does not harm and does not affect the validity of the ablution. And all praise is due to Allah. Yes.
