Question

Is applying face paint on your face on sports day to identify with your team haraam? I heard a sister in Islam saying that it is haraam.

Answer

This is impermissible as it disfigures the face.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
