Earning through applying make-up for women

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-02-14 06:46

Q: I have recently started a part time make up course so that I can start earning money to help with expenses for my husband and kids. I have already spent money on the course and on buying the necessary things to do make up for other clients but I realized that it may not be permissible to do make up for others.

1. Would I get the sin for doing make up for women who then go without hijab to functions or mix with non mahrams? Will my income be haraam?

2. Also are we allowed to use stick on synthetic lashes for women who request so? If I had realized earlier I would not have invested in this course and the make up needed

Secretly giving one's wife extra money

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-02-14 06:37

Q: Sometimes I secretly replace my wife's money from her purse with a bigger amount. For example, if she had R50, I take the R50 for myself and replace it with a R100 without her knowing in order to surprise her. When she comes to know of a bigger amount, I lie to her and tell her it was miracle that took place from the side of Allah. It really pleases her when she hears stuff like this, miracles etc. 

My questions are:

1. Am I guilty of the sin of lying?

2. By me replacing her money with a larger amount, is this regarded as Ribaa?

Selling health books that contain pictures of animate objects

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-02-13 07:18

Q: I want to sell physical health eBooks that may contain images of humans for the purposes of demonstration. E.g. a fitness eBook demontrating how to perform an exercise or movement. The intention is that buyers will be purchasing the eBook for the information and content and not for the images. What is the ruling on this (both male and female images, would awrah need to be covered as this is solely for demonstrational/educational purposes?) and will income gained from this be halal? If this is not permissible, could you give me guidance on other methods I can use to demonstrate things such as exercises/stretches with visuals etc.
