The ruling on applying makeup and cutting hair for adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Republic of Arab Egypt, a male or female listener, S. A., asks about the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding a woman applying makeup: is it permissible for her to adorn herself for her husband, or on her wedding night?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with a woman adorning herself with makeup or otherwise for her husband. However, if she adorns herself in order to go out into the street or to appear before people other than her husband, this is forbidden (haram) because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and laxity involved in it.
