Is an Eyelash Perm/Lift Permissible?

Answered by Ustadh Salman Younas

Question: Is an eyelash perm/lift and colour tinting, that usually lasts between 4 to 6 weeks permissible?

Answer: Asalamu Alaykum

Yes, in itself there is no problem with an eyelash lift.

However, one must continue to uphold the general guidelines of modesty that our religion has laid down, which includes not adorning oneself in a manner or with the intent to unduly attract the attention of the opposite gender. As the Qur’an says, “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof,” and it continues by saying, “let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment.” (24:31)
