The ruling on using a product that changes the color of the eyebrows to the skin tone, and the ruling on extravagance in these products
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Honorable Shaykh says that this attached product is used.
The Shaykh : A product. Yes, a product image. Yes. I mean, is it fats or something? I think it is saffron. Yes, okay. It says it is used to paint the excess hair on the eyebrows so that the hair disappears, because it gives the hair the color of the skin. Knowing that I obtained an image of this product from a book at one of the sisters' place, in which the manufacturing company displayed more than one thousand and five hundred types of cosmetic tools, and the sister told me that she had tried more than half of these products.
The questioner : So is there a word regarding extravagance in that, and may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : Yes. As for the color, there is nothing wrong with it, because the black hair becomes the color of the skin. As for extravagance, it is not permissible, not in eating, not in drinking, not in clothing, and not in sweets, because Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:141]. These disbelievers and those similar to them are drowning in these products, whether in colors, clothes, or otherwise, for two reasons. The first reason is to occupy people with them so that the woman and her family have nothing to look at or think about except this matter. The second reason is to enrich their economy. So if we had intellect and thought, let alone faith, we would have abandoned these things and cut them off so that they would not have any popularity among us. But unfortunately, they lavish these things, and you find that this thing is no different from the one before it except in color or shape; it is all the same.
The Shaykh : A product. Yes, a product image. Yes. I mean, is it fats or something? I think it is saffron. Yes, okay. It says it is used to paint the excess hair on the eyebrows so that the hair disappears, because it gives the hair the color of the skin.

And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess.
وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
