Permanent eye makeup
Question
Is permanent eye makeup acceptable according to the Shariah?
Answer
Permanent eye makeup is not permissible as it entails tattooing. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has cursed the one who has his/her skin tattooed.
It is narrated on the authority of Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (Radiallahu Anhu) that he said, “May Allah Ta’ala curse those who tattoo, have (their bodies) tattooed, those who request their eyebrows to be plucked and those who create gaps between their teeth. They are changing what Allah has created. Why should I not curse those whom Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has cursed, whilst it has been recorded in the Qur’an?” [Sahih Bukhari]
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
