A woman using creams to whiten her skin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a woman uses creams to whiten her skin
The Shaykh:
What did she use?
The questioner:
A woman uses creams to whiten her skin, and her intention is to adorn herself. Does this fall under changing the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
The Shaykh:
No, this is removing blemishes, if it is for her husband. As for her whitening herself and appearing before people and appearing in the street, that is not permissible. As for adorning herself for her husband, there is no objection; it is permissible.
