What is the criterion for a woman adorning herself for her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman using Western adornment to adorn herself for her husband? Some distinguish and say that if the color of the adornment resembles Arab adornment, such as kohl and the like, it is permissible, but otherwise it is not permissible?
The Shaykh : First, it must be known that the original ruling regarding adornment, clothing, food, and drink is that it is lawful.
Allah the Exalted said, rebuking those who prohibited it: قل من حرم زينة الله التي أخرج لعباده والطيبات من الرزق لكن إذا كانت هذه الزينة تختص بالكفار من لباس أو تجميل في الوجه أو مطعوم أو مأكول صار ذلك حراما لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم . نعم.
السائل : جزاكم الله خيرا. Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants and the good things of provision?" But if this adornment is specific to the disbelievers, whether in clothing, facial beautification, or what is eaten or consumed, then it becomes forbidden, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever imitates a people is one of them." Yes. The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
