Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of the questions, your sister (J. A.) from Damascus, Syria, says: Makeup; what is its ruling in Islam—may Allah preserve you—can we analogize makeup to henna and kohl, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his wives to use?
Answer:
If makeup does not harm the face, there is no harm in it, as a form of adornment. If it does not harm the face and does not cause any harm, there is no harm in it. However, if it causes harm, it should not be done. If it merely brightens the face but does not result in any harm, there is no harm in it. Yes.
The presenter: Especially, O Shaykh, if a woman adorns herself with this for her husband?
Answer: The point is that if there is no harm in it, there is no harm, praise be to Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam) such as kohl, and such as the dye, and things similar to them. Yes.
