The questioner:
The first caller is Abdul Aziz from Riyadh. Abdul Aziz, please. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy. May Allah reward you, and may Allah thank you for your well-being. The first question: Is it permissible for a woman to apply kohl and go out to the men? This is a good question, may Allah guide you. The Shaykh will answer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes, repeat it.
The questioner:
Is it permissible for a woman to apply kohl and go out in front of men, or to apply kohl and go out in front of men? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
She does not go out in front of non-mahram men, nor does she apply kohl and go out in front of them. Rather, she covers her face with whatever adornment is on it, covering and concealing it when she goes out. As for when she is with her husband, or with her sons, or with her mahrams, there is nothing wrong with her uncovering her face and applying kohl, because applying kohl is beneficial for the eye and a treatment for the eye, in addition to the adornment it provides. Yes.
