Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah answer you and reward you. In her final question, she asks: Is it permissible for a woman to apply makeup to her face, or is this act considered a change to the creation of Allah?
Answer:
If it does not involve plucking the eyebrows or shaving any of them, then it is merely beautifying the face with known dyes. If this is done for the husband and she does not go out with it before men who are not her mahram (relatives one may not marry), then there is nothing wrong with it. A woman may adorn herself with cosmetics and types of beautifiers, but that should be within the circle of women and in the presence of her husband. Yes.
