Performing Salaah with make-up

· 9 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to know if it is permissible to read Salaah with make-up on?

Answer

If the make-up is not impure and it does not resemble the ways of the kuffaar then it is permissible.

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