What is the standard for adornment for a woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In his hadith (peace be upon him) Does this mean that it is permissible for the color to appear, the colors that dyes produce on a woman's face in terms of adornment, such that the form of the adornment is not of the nature of the disbelieving women, or that it changes into forms that do not maintain a single state indicating the mold of the disbeliever, but rather a variety with no standard, knowing that the nature of dyes is permissible? And branching from this question is our statement: Is what is forbidden in a woman adorning her face that she does not put green or blue color between her eyes and eyebrows, and that she does not put bright red lipstick on her lips, and that she does not raise her hair gathered above her head, or that she does not use dyes that are compounds and animal fats whose nature we do not know?
The Shaykh : The hadith with which the question beganJami` at-Tirmidhi 2787 This second part of the hadith concerning women intends, first of all, henna, for which the text came first with its permissibility, and then with the command for it, in some of the hadiths reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), making that one of the apparent characteristics of a woman, recognized from her palms as being a woman, if her face is not exposed, for example. And another color may be added to the henna, as came in some hadiths in Sunan Abu Dawud that the women in postpartum bleeding used to paint their faces with weld. And on this occasion, is this type of plant, weld, still known among you?
Another questioner : The word is known...
The Shaykh : The word is known, yes, but I am asking about it as a plant.
Another questioner : It is not known.
The Shaykh : It is not known among you. The important thing is that it dyes with a color leaning toward yellow; the women in postpartum bleeding used to paint their faces with it. So the hadith operates within the limits of the general rules, among which are: a woman does not imitate men, she does not imitate the disbelieving women or the open sinners. And what came in the folds of this long question can be regulated by these two rules. A woman uses perfume that has an apparent color, on the condition of not imitating men and not imitating the disbelieving women and open sinners. This is the summary of the answer to the long question. Do you have anything else?
The perfume of women is that whose scent is hidden and whose color is apparent.
طيب النساء ما خفي ريحه وظهر لونهThe Shaykh : The hadith with which the question began
Fragrance for men is that which its scent is apparent and its color is hidden, and fragrance for women is that which its color is visible and its scent is hidden.
طيب الرجال ما ظهر ريحه و خفي لونه ، و طيب النساء ما ظهر لونه و خفي ريحهAnother questioner : The word is known...
