| Ruling on wearing kohl for beautification  Q: A.A. From Cairo, Egypt, asks if it is permissible for a woman to wear kohl? | | (Part No. 10; Page No. 58) | |
A: It is permissible for a woman to wear kohl before women, her husband, and her Mahram (spouse or permanently unmarriageable relative). However, it is not permissible for her to uncover her face or reveal her eyes beautified with Kohl. Allah (Glorified be He) says,  And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen: that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. It is permissible to use the Burqu` (a face veil), which allows her two or one eye to appear but without wearing kohl before the Ajnaby (a man who is lawful for the woman to marry) like her brother-in-law, her husband's uncle, her paternal cousin, her maternal cousin, etc. Whether Muslims or disbelievers. |
