Question #3: “Is it allowed for the woman to put on make-up if she leaves her house wearing the hij\u0101b?”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","answer":"

Shaykh al-Alb\u0101ni answers:<\/p>\r\n

“It is not permissible for the woman who does not wear hij\u0101b, let alone who wears hij\u0101b, to use the makeup of the disbeliever, the make-up of the rebellious and disobedient (to All\u0101h). When were you aware of some women’s adornment called by a name for which All\u0101h did not send down an authority: ‘make-up’? This is a word that we don’t know, not us nor your forefathers from before. Rather, it is a foreign word expressing an adornment for the rebellious and disobedient women of Europe; and our women – except those of them whom All\u0101h protects – unfortunately imitate decorating themselves with this adornment which the Islamic society is being affected by, namely make-up. So it is not permissible for the woman. And this reality is one of the strange ironies: in the road we see a woman wearing a decent hij\u0101b (but) I don’t say the Islamically legislated hij\u0101b; she ties what they call the ‘ish\u0101rb’ – or khim\u0101r which is the (correct) Arabic word – covering her hair, her neck and so on, but she has face powder and lipstick on. This (wearing the hij\u0101b) is against this (wearing make-up): two contradictory, conflicting matters that do not go together. What is the reason (for this type of occurrence)? It is one of two things: either ignorance and heedlessness of the Islamically legislated ruling or it is due to the women’s following of the whisperings of shayt\u0101n.<\/p>\r\n

Therefore, we firstly remind the women who suffer from this make-up. Then secondly, we remind the guardians of women such as a father or a husband or a brother, due to the fact that (the Prophet) (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) said: ‘Everyone of you is a shepherd and everyone of you is responsible for his flock. So the man is a shepherd and he is responsible for his flock-’ [1] to the end of the had\u012bth. Thus, the Arabic or general proverb states: ‘The horse is from the horseman.’ So you, the husband of the woman, it is not permissible for you to allow her to go out in this manner which puts to trial the middle-aged men, let alone the young men! And you, O man, O father, O brother, are supposed to be very jealous. Why? Because the Prophet (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) used to say: ‘A duyy\u016bth will not enter Paradise.’ [2] Why? Who is a duyy\u016bth? He is the one who does not guard his womenfolk jealously.”<\/p>\r\n
