The Ruling on Makeup and Plucking the Eyebrows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking: What is the ruling on women wearing makeup and plucking their eyebrows, and is this considered changing the creation of Allah?
The Shaykh:
As for plucking the eyebrows, it is not permissible because it is messing with the eyebrows and changing the creation of Allah. As for using cosmetics and dyes for a woman to adorn herself with them, if there is no harm in them, if there is no harm in them, there is nothing wrong with her adorning herself with them for her husband, because she is required to adorn herself using dyes and cosmetics that beautify her for her husband and do not cause medical harm; there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
You, Hassan.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
