Opening a salon
Question
I want to open a salon for manicures, pedicures, facials, etc. Is this permissible? I will not be cutting hair, shaping eyebrows, etc.
Answer
On account of the ambiance of beauty salons and the many impermissible activities that generally take place in that environment, we do not advise you to open a beauty salon.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
