Going to a beauty parlour to apply make up

· 18 Rabiʻ II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Kindly advise under what limits can a woman do make up.

If a woman's face looks unusual with dullness, black dry mouth, etc., can she go to a parlour to make her look fresh with facials and to remove her dullness, slight lip colors to invisible black or dry. Kindly advise.

Answer

In principle we strongly discourage going to a beauty parlour. She may do it in the confines of her home provided the make up has no haraam or impure ingredient.

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.”
