Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner asks about artificial eyelashes, placing them on the eyelashes of the eye, and drawing the eyebrows with a black or brown kohl pencil, or decorating the eye with a drawing of colors?
Answer:
As for the eyelashes, if the intention is to place hair on the eye that is not part of its natural creation, then this is the joining of hair, joining hair with hair, and this is forbidden. As for dyeing the eyebrows, they are not to be dyed; dyeing the eyebrows is forbidden, except if they are disfigured, in which case removing the disfigurement is done by whatever is easy. As for the kohl in the eye and blackening the eyelashes with kohl, this is good and prescribed. Kohl is good for the eye, beautifying the eye with kohl for men and women. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
