Q:
1. Are we allowed to apply false lashes?
2. Can I use a curler (a tool to curl lashes temporary) and mascara (to lengthen the lashes temporary)
3. Are alcoholic perfumes/sprays/body mist, etc. not allowed to perform salah? I heard that if you are using perfumes which contain alcohol, you can't perform prayer in that condition, is that true?
Q: I'm doing business of non alcoholic perfumes and Attars. The fragrances, which I sell come from a company in india (total hindus), keva fragrances. This company also uses synthetic animal derivatives such as civet oil, etc. in their perfume oils. They said, we can give halal declaration of any product, but did not show any halal certification.
Secondly, this company is partly owned by blackstone, a giant company of USA, which deals in real estate, credit, equity, etc. involving interest as well. My question is that whether it is preferable to sell their products to earn, as they are strict Hindus and might be involved directly or indirectly in interest also. Secondly, the use of synthetic animal derivatives in fragrances are halal to use and sell?
Q: My question is if I could use alcohol based creams etc. for my face. I have bad pimples, achne, etc. Also can we use alcohol based perfumes and will these things break wudhu etc?
Q: Is it permissible to use perfumes which contains saffron, as in a hadith our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has prohibited it. Is this Hadith still applicable?
