Wants to go out with some make up without covering her face

27-5-2009 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalamoalikum wa Rahmatullah, Is it permissible to wear a bit of makeup, (concealer, and comapct powder) to cover up a few pimples or small light red marks that past pimples have left n my face? I wear hiab Alhamdulillah, but not niqab, which my dad doesn't allow me to wear unfortunately..Please make du'aa that I start wearing niqab as well sincerely for Allah's sake, and that my dad becomes okay with it InshAllah
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

If you mean putting on this make up and going out in front of non-Mahram men, then it is not permissible for you to wear make up in this case because this contradicts the Saying of Allaah (which means): {…and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof.}[Quran 24:31]

As regards putting make up at home or when a woman covers her face after putting it, then it is permissible if this does not lead to any harm.

As regards wearing Niqaab (face covering) then we ask Allaah to enable you to convince your father to agree that you wear it, and you may seek the help of some scholars and righteous people in this regard.

Finally, it should be noted that covering the face is a controversial issue among the scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them; for more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 83702 and 81554.

Allaah Knows best.
