Grooming eyebrow; invalidation of Wudhu

Is it permissibal for a women to groom her eyebrows?

Is it necessary to make wuddu after changing nappy of a baby even though we had wuddu before?

can a women from hanafi mazhab keep her head uncovered infront of her mahrams n other sisters and can she wear makeup and fancy clothes infront of them as well??

Answer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1.       In principle, it is permissible for women to remove unnatural facial hair including the ones surrounding one’s eyebrows. However, it is not permissible to remove or groom actual hairs from the eyebrows themselves. If the eyebrows are abnormally bushy, so much so that they look unnatural, then it is only permissible to trim them back to their natural state and not beyond that.[1]

2.       Changing nappy of a baby does not invalidate the wudhu’. However it will be prudent and hygienic to wash the hands after changing the diaper, in case they become soiled with impurity.

3.       Please resubmit question #3 seperately.

النمص: نتف الشعر ومنه المنماص المنقاش اهـ ولعله محمول على ما إذا فعلته لتتزين للأجانب، وإلا فلو كان في وجهها شعر ينفر زوجها عنها بسببه، ففي تحريم إزالته بعد، لأن الزينة للنساء مطلوبة للتحسين، إلا أن يحمل على ما لا ضرورة إليه لما في نتفه بالمنماص من الإيذاء. وفي تبيين المحارم إزالة الشعر من الوجه حرام إلا إذا نبت للمرأة لحية أو شوارب فلا تحرم إزالته بل تستحب اهـ، وفي التتارخانية عن المضمرات: ولا بأس بأخذ الحاجبين وشعر وجهه ما لم يشبه المخنث اهـ ومثله في المجتبى تأمل (الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (6/ 373)) 

 


 

 

 DARUL IFTAA BUILDING PROJECT

Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,

 

 

We make Du’aa you are well. The Darul Iftaa was established in the year 2011. The fundamental objective of the Darul Iftaa is to train Ulama from various parts of the world to become Muftis. In this world of scientific calculations and technological advancements, economic confusion and political disarray, a Mufti is trained to understand and analyze current situations and provide leadership for the Ummah. There is a vacuum  of competent Muftis in various parts of the world. The Ummah lacks leadership. There are currently twelve students who are studying at the Darul Iftaa. They are from United States of America, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Jamaica, Zambia, Canada and South Africa. There are many Ulama from many parts of the world who have applied to study the Iftaa course. They could not be accommodated due to lack of adequate facilities. The Darul Iftaa has therefore embarked on an expansion project.

The Darul Iftaa requests your generous contributions for the expansion project. The building project has already begun and is expected to be completed within the next three months. This is indeed a great opportunity for you to earn Sawab e Jariyah in the Aakhirah. This is a tree with many branches bearing sweet fruits for your Aakhirah. Insha’Allah. The Darul Iftaa banking details are as follows:

Bank:              FNB Bank
Account#:     62347912778
Branch:           221126
 

(The Darul Iftaa is registered and has the following PBO exemption number: 930039227 – 3 May 2012)

JazakAllah.

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
