The Ruling on a Woman Going to Beauty and Weight-Loss Salons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman going to beauty salons, or beauty and weight-loss salons, knowing that she exposes her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) in these places?
Answer:
It is not permissible for this as long as it involves exposing a woman's 'awrah to anyone other than her husband; this is haram (forbidden). And as for what they call weight-loss, we call it a type of degradation, so it is not permissible for a woman to leave her house and go to these salons. She should adorn herself in her house, and praise be to Allah, among her women, her daughters, and her sisters in her house, under the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and she should not go to these salons with all the great deceptions they contain. Yes.
