Ruling on wearing makeup Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself for her husband by using makeup for colouring her cheeks, lips and eyelids? Could you kindly explain, bearing in mind that this kind of makeup is the adornment of the western women? Sheikh ibn Baz rahimahullah answered: “It is prescribed by Islam for the woman to adorn herself for her husband using the means legislated and made permissible by Allāh. The wife may adorn herself with beautiful clothes and clean herself with soap and such things. Soap beautifies and cleanses the body. If there are permissible cosmetics that do not contain ḥarām or Najis (impure) components, or something that may harm the face, or have bad side effects, there is nothing wrong with using them. We can take from the East or West the things that will benefit us, but we must avoid the things that will harm us. Anything useful to us from the East or West, we can adopt and utilize such as cars, ships, planes, weapons etc. We can learn from them medicines, cosmetics and other utilities that are beneficial to us, while avoiding resemblance to non-Muslims. We adopt the things that will be of benefit to us and give up that which may cause us harm. It is required from the wife to beautify herself for her husband, but not outside her house in front of non-Maḥram men (not a spouse or unmarriageable male relatives); rather, inside her house and for her husband. Allāh is the One sought for help!” [Majmū’ Al-Fatāwā Ibn Bāz (21/222)] ᴍᴏʀᴇ ʙᴇɴᴇғɪᴛs ⤵️ T.me/womensbenefits
