The questioner : The questioner, Umm Mu'adh from Riyadh, asks: What is the ruling on using artificial eyelashes to adorn oneself for her husband?
The Shaykh : Artificial eyelashes are not permissible because they resemble the joining of hair, that is, joining hair to the head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who joins hair and the one who has it joined. These eyelashes, as I imagine, involve placing black threads like hair on the eyelashes so that they appear numerous and the eye is adorned with them. If that is the case, it is of the joining that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed, which is done in the head. However, if the eyelashes mean dyeing the hair of the eyelids, then it is not forbidden. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
