Ruling on women wearing lipstick
Question: 13466
is putting on lipstick harram or resembling the non-Muslim’s ( tahsaboh bil kufar ), please I wish to know this answer, because allot of Ulama say’s that its harram, because maybe it has pig’s fat, but what if I know for sure that it does not have animal fat in it, may I use it?
Ofcourse i would not go out with it, i know its haram in that case. But at home, to adore myself.
So my question is is it HARRAM to wear LIPSTICK?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Using cosmetics such as lipstick and blusher is OK, especially for a
married woman.”
Fataawa
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen,
part 2, p. 828 .
If a woman does not appear wearing that
in front of strange men (non-mahrams) and it does not contain any impure
substances such as pig extracts, and it is not harmful to the skin,
then it is permissible, especially in order to beautify oneself for
one’s husband. The basic principle concerning adornments is that they
are permissible. And Allaah knows best.
