The Ruling on Opening Women’s Beauty Salons

The questioner:
He also asks: What is the ruling on the ablution of the rear, and then we clean it by pouring water on it? Yes.
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. Opening salons for hairdryers that they frequent, causing them to leave their homes, is a matter that is not permissible; because it leads to tabarruj (a woman’s display of her adornment), and it leads to the woman being lax in her going out. Perhaps customs regarding the hair of disbelieving women, and how to style and arrange it, are practiced there. All these are matters to be wary of. It is obligatory for the woman to remain in her home, and to arrange her clothing, her hair, and all her affairs in her home; it is more concealing for her and more protective for her. Also, opening salons for eyebrows should not be taken as a path for this; because the result that follows from it is, at the very least, that it is oppressive; because it is mixed with some of the things to be wary of, and it encourages women to go out. Perhaps at first a person tries to control it, but then, driven by the love of money and the desire to attract customers, he expands it and does things in it that encourage coming, which are contrary to the Islamic etiquette.
So it is obligatory to stop this matter, and to confine women to their homes, so that they may arrange their affairs in their homes, in the protection of Allah, and in safety.
