The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: Some women use certain types of food, such as honey and flour, either after mixing them or without mixing them, in their adornment and perfume. What is the ruling on this in the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
We use them.
The questioner:
Flour and honey, mixed or unmixed, in adornment?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that if it is beneficial for the things with which they adorn themselves, so there is no harm in it. However, one must be careful that this adornment or this beautification is not displayed to men who are not her mahram (relatives one may not marry). Rather, she should cover herself, concealing her adornment from men, and not display it when she goes out of her house. Rather, she should cover herself completely. Yes.
