Women applying winged eyeliner

· 24 Jumada II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it haram for a women to do winged eyeliner because the ancient Egyptians used to have winged eyeliner? So is this then imitating kuffar and haraam to do winged eyeliner?

Answer

Since this resembles the fashions and ways of the kuffaar, you should avoid using this. Apart from this, if it prevents water from reaching the eye-lashes or part of the eyelid, then the ghusal and wudhu will not be valid. When the wudhu will not be valid, then the salaah performed will also not be valid.

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.”
