Opening a beauty parlour
Question
I am a Muslim woman and I wanted to know that is it a gunnah to open up a beauty parlour and I will do all the jobs like plucking eyebrows of Muslim and non Muslim women and waxing and many more. I am a single parent for my child and I wanted to earn money, because of this I wanted to open a parlour.
Answer
On account of the numerous wrongs that are associated with this profession we consider this to be a very shameful and reprehensible occupation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
