The Ruling on Artificial Nails and Eyelashes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your sister in Allah asks about the ruling on artificial nails and eyelashes. Are they considered from the category of adding to the hair?
Answer:
Yes, it is all forbidden. The nails are not permissible; the nails are trimmed. The natural nails are trimmed and not left to grow long. It is not permissible to take false nails and attach them; this is not permissible. Likewise, it is not permissible to attach false eyelashes. Rather, she should be content with what Allah created for her. This is from changing the creation of Allah, and Allah has cursed the one who does it. It is from Shaytan. Shaytan said, and Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:119] This is from changing the creation of Allah and playing with it. So the Muslim leaves the nails and leaves the eyelashes as Allah created them, except that he trims the nails and does not leave them to grow long until they become like the claws of beasts. Yes.
