Question

To what extent can a woman wear make-up when going out?

Answer

Shariah has permitted women to utilize make-up within the confines of their home for the pleasure of their husbands, with the proviso that the products being used are free of any Haraam ingredients. However, it is not permissible to use any make-up when leaving the home.
