Is a woman going out into the street during the waiting period considered part of the adornment that is prohibited?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay; regarding kohl application—Shaykh—does a woman applying kohl and going out into the street count as the forbidden adornment of a woman going out into the street?
The Shaykh : What are you doing?
The questioner : If she applies kohl, a woman applies kohl and goes out into the road; is this forbidden? I mean, is it not permissible for her to apply kohl because it is part of the adornment and is considered tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment)?
The Shaykh : It is according to the previous detail, excuse me; perhaps I went and my mind wandered to something else. Is your question related to the previous research or not?
The questioner : No, it is not related.
The Shaykh : No, kohl application is an exception to the adornment.
The questioner : It is an exception.
The Shaykh :[An-Nur 24:31] Yes, the hadith came in "Sahih al-Bukhari" that...
The Shaykh : What is the name of this woman?
The Shaykh : That a woman whose husband died while she was pregnant, so she gave birth to her child before the completion of her waiting period, so she applied kohl and adorned herself for the suitors, so a man named Ibn what? ... or is his name a bit strange. No, his name is Abu al-Sanabil.
Another questioner : Abu al-Sanabil.
The Shaykh : Abu al-Sanabil, so he objected to her and said that she should count until four months and ten days pass. She had a doubt; apparently she had heard it, either directly from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or from one of the Companions who heard from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it may have been the husband himself who used to attend the gatherings. So when her husband died, she remembered this legal ruling. When she gave birth, her waiting period ended in what she knew. That Abu al-Sanabil understood it incorrectly, or rather, he understood the general principle, not the specific principle; meaning, when her husband died, her waiting period is four months and ten days. He did not know that a pregnant woman has a specific ruling, so he treated her according to the general principle and objected to her. So she went to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what Abu al-Sanabil said, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said this:, so he confirmed her abstention from the waiting period because of what? Her delivery of her child.
The Shaykh : The point in this hadith is the explicit statement that she applied kohl, so kohl is part of the apparent adornment to which reference was made in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):[An-Nur 24:31].
The questioner : The usual.
The Shaykh : ... he saw her with kohl on.
The questioner : If ... her husband—for example—she is beautiful, and kohl increases her beauty, and he does not want her to go out with kohl on, she must obey him.
The Shaykh : Obedience is obligatory.
The Shaykh : What are you doing?
The questioner : If she applies kohl, a woman applies kohl and goes out into the road; is this forbidden? I mean, is it not permissible for her to apply kohl because it is part of the adornment and is considered tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment)?

The questioner : No, it is not related.
The Shaykh : No, kohl application is an exception to the adornment.
The questioner : It is an exception.
The Shaykh :
except that which [necessarily] appears thereof
إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَاThe Shaykh : What is the name of this woman?
The Shaykh : That a woman whose husband died while she was pregnant, so she gave birth to her child before the completion of her waiting period, so she applied kohl and adorned herself for the suitors, so a man named Ibn what? ... or is his name a bit strange. No, his name is Abu al-Sanabil.

Abu al-Sanabil lied
كَذَبَ أبو السنابلThe Shaykh : The point in this hadith is the explicit statement that she applied kohl, so kohl is part of the apparent adornment to which reference was made in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof
وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَاThe questioner : The usual.
The Shaykh : ... he saw her with kohl on.
The questioner : If ... her husband—for example—she is beautiful, and kohl increases her beauty, and he does not want her to go out with kohl on, she must obey him.
The Shaykh : Obedience is obligatory.
