Eyelash lift

[ummtaalib]

Q. Is it permissible to undergo an eyelash lift?

 

(Question published as received)

 

A. An eyelash lift entails applying a solution on ones eyelashes to lift/curl one’s eyelashes upwards, instead of having them sitting straight.

 

In terms of Shariah, it is permissible to undergo an eyelash lift if the solution applied is water permeable. If it is not water permeable, then it will affect the validity of ones Ghusal and Wudhu. (Maraaqil Falaah 1/45)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
