Q: Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself for her husband by using makeup for coloring her cheeks, lips and eyelids? Could you kindly explain, bearing in mind that this kind of makeup is the adornment of the western women? | ||
A: It is prescribed by Islam for the woman to adorn herself for her husband using the means legislated and made permissible by Allah. The wife may adorn herself with beautiful clothes and clean herself with soap and such things. Soap beautifies and cleanses the body. If there are permissible cosmetics that do not contain Haram (prohibited) or Najis (impure) components, or something that may harm the face, or have bad side effects, there is nothing wrong with using them. We can take from the East or West the things that will benefit us, but we must avoid the things that will harm us. Anything useful to us from the East or West, we can adopt and utilize such as cars, ships, planes, weapons etc. We can learn from them medicines, cosmetics and other utilities that are beneficial to us, while avoiding resemblance to non-Muslims. We adopt the things that will be of benefit to us and give up that which may cause us harm. It is required from the wife to beautify herself for her husband, but not outside her house in front of non-Mahram men (not a spouse or unmarriageable male relatives); rather, inside her house and for her husband. Allah is the One sought for help!

Q: Do the Jinn (creatures created from fire) know the Ghayb (the Unseen)? Please clarify this as soon as possible.
A: Knowledge of Ghayb is one of the exclusive attributes of Rububiyyah (Lordship); no one knows the Ghayb of the heavens and the earth except Allah. Allah (Exalted be He) says: And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. He (Exalted is His Majesty) also says: Say: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (Unseen) except Allâh" The Jinn do not know the Ghayb, which is proven by His Saying (Exalted be He): Then when We decreed death for him [Sulaimân (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinn) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick. So when he fell down, the jinn saw clearly that if they had known the Unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment. Therefore, anyone who claims to know the Ghayb is a Kafir (disbeliever) and anyone who believes in this claim is a Kafir as well, for they are denying the Qur'an.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
