Is it permissible for women to use sandal powder on their face?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
(1) I am from Chennai. In the month of Ramadan here in all masjidh’s providing kanzi (food like briyani). They are providing by collecting money from public. Not sure about all income is halal or not. Is that kanzi halal to consume? By paying some money to masjid with the intention of purchasing kanzi, can we get kanzi for the whole month?
(2) Using sandal powder for face to women is permissible? Because I heard in bayan that except white powder, all colour powder is haram. Please, reply as soon as possible.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(1) Purchasing of biryani will not rightly take place only by paying some money. The briyani was prepared by people from donation money, then it be purchased from those who prepared it. However, if they aim at feeding the poor only, then the rich may not consume it. But if they intend to feed every one whether a poor or rich, then everyone can eat it as the donation money was mixed and the total money may not be labelled as haram. Yet, if one knows that it contains some haram money as well, he may avoid if he wishes.
(2) If there is no haram or impure ingredient in sandal powder, the women may apply it.

Allah knows Best!
