Face painting

· 17 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is applying face paint on your face on sports day to identify with your team haraam? I heard a sister in Islam saying that it is haraam.

Answer

This is impermissible as it disfigures the face.

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