3. What are cosmetics ?
Any substance intended to be rubbed,
poured, sprinkled, sprayed or applied to any
part of human body for purpose of cleansing,
beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or
altering the appearance, and includes any
article intended for use as a component of
cosmetic.

5. •This beautification should not be for non-mahram men.
The one for whom she should beautify herself first and
foremost is her husband.
•The materials used for cosmetic purposes should be
permissible(jaaiz), such as henna and kohl. It is not
permissible for her to use but fat from dead meat (i.e.,
from animals that have not been slaughtered in
accordance with sharee’ah) or impure (naajis)
substances, because Islam forbids using impure and
haraam things..

7. There is no harm for a women to use cosmetics
to beautify herself for her husband and endear
herself to him but she should observe the
following conditions:
1) She should not change her white hair into
black since the Prophet (PBUH) said regarding
the grey hair: "Change it with some thing but
avoid the black colour".
.
3) It should not be in imitation to non-Muslims.
4) No impurity should have been added during
the process of its production.
If the above conditions are met then using
makeup is permissible.

8. Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verse 90:
O you who have believed! ‘Khamr’ (all types of intoxicants),
gambling, (ungodly) shrines, and divining devices are all
abominable works of Shaitaan; therefore, refrain from these so
that you may attain true success!
Thus what Allah and His Messenger (saws) have
forbidden the believers is the consumption of all types of
intoxicants, which effect the senses of the human; like
wine, alcohol, drugs, etc.
Similarly, most of the scholars of Islam are of the opinion that
although the consumption of alcohol is absolutely haram,
alcohol by itself is not impure. Thus there is no harm if one
uses products that contain alcohol like perfumes, creams,
soaps, shampoos, etc. provided the alcohol is not consumed
and entered into the body which would cause one to loose one’s
senses. And Allah Alone Knows Best.

women, and not limited to
women as some might wrong

stone that exists in the
region of Hijaaz, and the best
of it is brought from Isfahan (a
province in the center of
nowadays Iran).
