The 'Udhiyah on behalf of a man and his household, and the ruling on attaching false eyelashes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking, and she says: Honorable Shaykh, what is better, that I sacrifice? Or rather, a man says: What is better, that I and my wife sacrifice, or that we sacrifice with my family? Knowing that we do not live with them. And he has another question, saying: What is the ruling on women attaching false eyelashes in front of their husbands?

Answer:
As for the 'Udhiyah, one animal is sufficient for a man and his household, as stated in the hadith: "One 'Udhiyah is sufficient for a man and his household." So he slaughters, and they slaughter with one animal, and it suffices them. There is no need for multiple 'Udhiyah in one house. As for separate houses, each house has its own ruling; the 'Udhiyah is prescribed for each house. Yes. And false eyelashes are not permissible because they are a change of Allah's creation.
Because they are a change of Allah's creation. The woman should remain with what Allah created for her, namely the eyelashes, the eyebrows, and so on, and not change the creation of Allah the Exalted. She should not adorn herself with something that is not part of her creation, unless there is disfigurement, illness, or something that requires treatment, in which case she treats it. But as long as she is sound, praise be to Allah, what Allah created for her in terms of beauty of appearance—such as the eyelashes, the eyebrows, and others—is sufficient for her. Yes.
