{{QuranHadithScholarsIndex}}

In general, Islamic scripture, Qur'an, hadith and sunnah, exhorts women not to alter their natural beauty, either through artificial means of improvement such a jewelry or by reducing their beauty with what is seen as blemishes such as tattoos. Scholars up to the modern day follow the lead of the of the scriptures and preach against women engaging in an entire range of practices which are seen to artificially affect their beauty.  

==Qur'an==

===Displaying your beauty and ornaments is forbidden===

{{Quote|{{Quran|24|31}}|And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that '''they should not display their beauty and ornaments''' except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss. }}

===Women had more freedom to display their beauty/charms in pre-Islamic Arabia===

{{Quote|{{Quran-range|33|32|33}}|O Consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is) just. And stay quietly in your houses, '''and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance;''' and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless. }}

===Only those belonging to Satan alter the creation of Allah===

{{Quote|{{Quran-range|4|117|121}}|(The Pagans), leaving Him, call but upon female deities: They call but upon satan the persistent rebel! Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off; "I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, '''and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah'''." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest. Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but satan's promises are nothing but deception. They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they will find no way of escape. }}

==Hadith==

===Marry women for their beauty===

{{Quote|{{Ibn Majah|9|3|9|1858}}|It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|72|829}}|Narrated Abu Juhaifa: The Prophet forbade the use of the price of blood and the price of a dog, the one who takes (eats) usury the one who gives usury, '''the woman who practises tattooing and the woman who gets herself tattooed'''.}}

I asked him the reason for doing so.

He said: 'Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah cursed ? And it is in the Book of Allah." She said: "I read what is between its two covers 'and I have not found that."

He said, ((From the acts of nature are five: circumcision, removing pubic hairs, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails and plucking the hair from under the armpits.)) It is not allowed to leave them for more than forty nights. This is based on the Hadeeth of Anas who said, "The Messenger of Allaah set a time limit for us for trimming the moustache, trimming nails, removing armpit hairs and removing pubic hairs. They cannot be left for more than forty nights." Letting them grow long resembles animals and some of the disbelievers. '''As for nail polish, it is better to avoid it. One must remove it when making ablution since it prevents water from reaching the nails'''.}}

'''Makeup is different'''.

Scholars have interpreted the directive to not display beauty and ornaments except what ordinarily appears in terms of ordinary adornment and extra adornment. Ordinary adornments like kohl, henna, or a ring are permissible to wear in public. Extra adornment, like '''perfume, lipstick, dazzling eye colors, and the like are not permissible to wear in public'''. In short, any type of adornment which makes a woman look "made-up" and attracts amorous attention is not permissible, as this would defeat the whole purpose of hijab.}}

Second, '''surgery is not carried out to remove a defect, but to attain beauty and to increase one's attractiveness. Surgery for this reason is prohibited'''. The Prophet said: Abdullah (bin Masood) said, "Allah curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's creation."

The Fuqahaa (scholars of jurisprudence) have ruled that it is impermissible for women to cut their hair. If a woman cuts her hair she will be sinful and accursed. Consider the following texts:   

1.1. Khulasat Al-Fatawaa (546 ah) by Shaykh Taahir Bin Abd Al-Rasheed al-Bukhari:

“If a woman cuts her hair, then it is incumbent on her to seek forgiveness from Allah Ta’ala” (Kitaab Al-Nikah, vol 2, pg 52, Rasheediyya)

1.2. Al-Multaqat (556 ah) by Nasir Al-Deen Al-Samarqandi:

“It is not permissible for a woman to cut her hair” (Kitaab Al-Nikah, pg 102, Ilmiyya)

1.3. Nisaab Al-Ihtisaab (820 ah) by Umar Bin Muhammad Al-Sanaami:

“Abu Bakr (Al-Iskaaf) was asked regarding a woman that cuts her hair. He replied: It is incumbent on her to seek forgiveness from Allah Ta’ala, repent and not return to such doings” (Al-Ihtisaab Ala al-Nisaa, pg 142, Al-Taalib al-Jaami’ee)

1.4. Fatawaa Al-Bazaziyyah (827 ah) by Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al-Bazazi:

“It is incumbent upon a woman that cuts her hair to seek forgiveness although her husband commands her to do so, because there is no obedience to the creation in an act that violates the laws of the creator” (Fatawaa Al-Bazaziyya with Al-Fatawaa al-Hindiyya, pg 379,vol 6, Rasheediyya)

1.5. Al-Ashbah Al-Nazaair (970 ah) by Ibn Al-Nujaim:

“It is not permissible for a woman to cut her hair” (Kitaab Al-Nikah, pg 178, Ilmiyya)

1.6. Al-Durr al-Mukhtaar (1088 ah) by Al-Haskafi:

“If she (woman) cuts her hair, she has committed a sin and is accursed. Bazaziyya adds: ‘even if her husband consents because there is no obedience to anyone in an act of disobedience to Allah”. (Al-Durr al-Muhtaar with Shaami, Kitabul Hadri wal Ibahah, vol 6, pg 407, HM Sa’eed)
    
The above ruling of the Fuqahaa are supported by the following Hadith:

“Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited women from allowing their hair to drop on their shoulders (by cutting it). (Al-Mu’jam al-Sagheer,Baabul Haa, Man Ishuhu Al-Hasan, vol 1, pg 229, Dar Al-Ammar)}}

Visible adornment, which is the woman’s outer dress 

And hidden adornment, which no one should see except the husband, such as kohl, bangles and rings. 

The evidence for that is the report narrated from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) concerning the interpretation of the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

''“and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent” [al-Noor 24:31] ''

Ibn Mas’ood said: The adornment is of two types, visible adornment and '''hidden adornment which no one should see except the husband'''. With regard to the visible adornment, this is the dress. With regard to the hidden adornment, '''this is things such as kohl, bangles and rings'''. 

According to another report, visible adornment includes clothes. '''That which is hidden includes anklets, earrings and bangles'''. 

Narrated by Ibn Jareer in his Tafseer, 18/117 

A similar interpretation was also narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas. 

See Adwa’ al-Bayaan, 6/196 

Therefore the scholars have said that it is obligatory for a woman to cover her face, hands and hidden adornments. This is what is regarded as more correct by a number of the scholars, including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah. 

Al-Shanqeeti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, when discussing this issue and after quoting the views of the scholars and stating that the report narrated from Ibn Mas’ood is more likely to be correct -: 

This view is the most correct opinion in our view; it is more on the safe side, farthest removed from suspicion and causes of fitnah. 

Adwa’ al-Bayaan, 6/192 

'''Make-up and the like, and henna, are kinds of adornment which it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to show to non-mahrams.''' 

Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen said:  

There is nothing wrong with using henna for adornment, especially for a married woman who adorns herself with it for her husband. As '''for unmarried women, the correct view is that it is permissible, but she should not show it to people''' because it is a kind of adornment. 

Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 1/477 

But some doctors have said that using artificial make-up harms a woman’s skin. If this is proven then it should be avoided. 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: 

If make-up beautifies a woman and does not cause her any harm, then there is nothing wrong with it, but I have heard that make-up damages the skin of the face, and that it therefore alters the skin of the face in an ugly way before the time when the skin changes as a result of ageing. I hope that women will ask their doctors about that. If that is proven, then using make-up is either haraam or makrooh at least, because everything that causes deformity in a person or makes him ugly is either haraam or makrooh. 

Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 1/474 

Thirdly: 

With regard to a woman’s neck and ears showing from under her khimaar, this is haraam, The ears and neck are among the areas which a woman is commanded to conceal from non-mahram men; they are part of the beauty which it is forbidden to uncover in front of anyone except one's husband and mahrams. 

The fuqaha’ are agreed that a woman’s ears are ‘awrah and it is not permissible to show them to non-mahrams. 

'''Any kind of adornment that is connected to them – such as earrings – is also part of the hidden adornment which it is not permissible to show'''. 

Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 2/376 

Concerning the conditions of hijaab, see question no. 6991. 

To sum up: 

It is not permissible for a husband to allow his wife to show her hidden adornments. He must tell her to wear proper hijaab otherwise the husband will be included among those whom sharee’ah counts as not having the proper protective jealousy concerning their honour. 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are three who will not enter Paradise and Allaah will not look at them on the Day of Resurrection: the one who disobeys his parents, the woman who imitates men, and the cuckold.” 

(Narrated by Ahmad; Ahmad Shaakir (6180) said, its isnaad is saheeh). }}
