Are Semi-Permanent Make up and Microblading Allowed?

Answered by Ustadh Salman Younas

Question

My eyebrows are naturally light on one side and dark on the other and I want to look more attractive for my husband.

Is microblading allowed?

Also, semi-permanent make up is allowed in such circumstances but there is a new semi permanent make up product called wunderbrow and although waterproof, is this permissible to use as a semi permanent DIY product?

Answer

There is no problem in microblading your eyebrows for the situation you describe.

Similarly, semi-permanent make-up would also be permissible. As for Wunderbrow in specific, many of their products are vegan and would not pose a problem except CoverProof, WunderExtentions Volumizing Mascara, WunderKiss Pro/WunderKiss2Go, and the WunderKiss Lip Scrub.

Finally, you should note that if these products prevent water from reaching your skin during ablution, they must be removed prior to its performance.
