Question:
What is the ruling on a woman’s adornments, such as makeup, rouge, and their accessories?
Answer:
There is no harm in that. There is no harm in adornments if they are pure and not harmful; if they do not harm her, such as kohl, what is placed on the lip from types of rouge, and what is used to wash the entire face, if it is not harmful, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is pure and does not harm, that is fine. However, if it harms the face or harms the body, she should not use it.
As for if it beautifies her in the presence of her husband and her female relatives and does not harm, there is no harm. However, in the presence of non-mahram men, this is not permissible. She must cover herself and observe hijab from the non-mahram. The husband’s brother is a non-mahram; the husband’s brother, his uncle, and his maternal uncle are all non-mahrams, and she must observe hijab from them. Likewise, the sister’s husband, the maternal aunt’s husband, and the paternal aunt’s husband are all non-mahrams, and she must cover herself from them. The mahrams are: the husband’s father, the husband’s son, the daughter’s husband, the daughter’s daughter’s husband, and the son’s daughter’s husband. These are mahrams. As for the husband’s brother, his uncle, and his maternal uncle, these are non-mahrams. Likewise, the sister’s husband, the paternal aunt’s husband, and the maternal aunt’s husband are non-mahrams.
