Ruling on using cosmetics made from fruits and vegetables

Firstly: 

There is
nothing wrong with using foodstuffs for purposes other than eating and
drinking, such as using them to take care of the body, because the basic
principle is that using them is permissible unless there is evidence that it
is forbidden. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):

“He
it is Who created for you all that is on earth”

[al-Baqarah
2:29]. 

Secondly: 

If this food
has been treated so that it has turned into another substance, as is the
case with cosmetics, there is nothing wrong with using it and that is not
regarded as using food, because its former description no longer applies.
This is what the fuqaha’ call istihaalah (transformation). 

In fact they
stated that substances extracted from impure and other things are
permissible to use, on condition that there are no traces of taste, colour
or smell. 

Shaykh Dr.
Wahbah al-Zuhayli (may Allah preserve him) said: 

Soap that is
produced from the rendered fat of pigs or animals that were not slaughtered
properly becomes permissible by means of this process of transformation and
it is permissible to use it. 

It is not
permissible to use lotions, creams and other cosmetics that contain pork fat
unless the fat has been transformed and its essence changed completely. If
that is not the case then it is najis (impure).

Shaykh Ibn
Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Is it permissible to use henna
mixed with egg yolk to condition the hair? 

He replied: 

There is
nothing wrong with that if it is beneficial. There is nothing wrong with
using henna mixed with egg yolk or other permissible things, if that is good
for the hair, such as helping to grow it long or making it smooth or other
benefits, or helping to keep the hair and prevent it from falling out..

He was also
asked: What is your opinion about putting eggs, olive oil and honey on the
hair, then washing it off in the bath, because it strengthens the hair? What
is your opinion on doing wudoo’ with that on one’s head? 

He replied: 

I do not know
of any reason why that should not be done if there is some benefit in it.
There is nothing wrong with mixing eggs, milk, honey and the like and
putting it on the hair, and it does not cause any harm if it is washed off
in the bath, because there is benefit in that … like other things that are
of benefit. But if it is washed in a clean place so as to be in the safe
side, that is good, in sha Allah.  But as far as we can tell, if it is
washed off in the bath, it does not do any harm, because in the case
mentioned it is not regarded as food, because in that case it is no longer
something that may be useful to someone.

Shaykh Ibn
‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Some women use some
foods such as eggs, yoghurt and honey for their faces and hair, either as
cosmetics or as remedies. What is the ruling on that? 

He replied: 

There is
nothing wrong with that, because Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning):

“He
it is Who created for you all that is on earth”

[al-Baqarah
2:29].

So long as the
matter does not go so far as disrespect towards the blessings of Allah (the
food), in which case it is not allowed.
