Using make-up

· 17 Shawwal 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Soon I am getting married and I am bound to have makeup from a parlour on my wedding day and I dont know which makeup brand the parlour uses, whether it is halaal or haraam makeup. Will the namaz be valid with such makeup of which halaal/haraam status is unknown?

Answer

Don't ever think of using makeup that is impure and haraam, as well as makeup that is not porous. Strongly reject it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Is wearing make-up permissible?

“If the surmah is on the skin of the face, then it should be washed off when making wudu. If it is not washed off and wudu is made, then if it does not prevent the water from reaching the face, then the wudu will be valid.”
