Wearing make-up when leaving the house
Question
To what extent can a woman wear make-up when going out?
Answer
Shariah has permitted women to utilize make-up within the confines of their home for the pleasure of their husbands, with the proviso that the products being used are free of any Haraam ingredients. However, it is not permissible to use any make-up when leaving the home.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
