Dress & Attire

Q: I heard that prohibition of coloring the hair black is only for men, not for women. Is this correct?

Q: I know that it is not permissible for women to cut or trim their hair. However, I wish to enquire about male haircuts. Is it permissible for a barber to cut males’ hair in uneven lengths? I was informed that it is permissible for males to cut their hair in uneven lengths and it does not enter under the prohibition of qaza’ mentioned in the Hadith. Can you explain to me the laws of Shari’ah that relate to cutting the hair?

Q: Is prayer acceptable whilst wearing eyelash extensions?

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: Is synthetic hair haram? Not human, but silk fake hair.

Q: Are fake lashes and fake nails allowed or not, like fake hair extension (wig)?

Q: I have a skin condition (similar to eczema) and I am finding it difficult and painful to remove pubic, scrotal, back passage and surrounding hair by shaving. However, I have found through personal experience that either plucking or trimming these hairs are more suitable for me. According to the Sharia, which is more preferred for removing these hairs if shaving is harmful for a person: trimming or plucking?

Q: Are women allowed to cut their hair? I heard some scholars say that this is not permitted because it is an imitation of men or the Kuffar. However, doesn't what is and isn't imitating men change with culture/times? Nowadays nearly all Muslim women cut their hair, and women cutting hair is considered normal in my culture (Turkish) and not all an imitation of men. Not to mention long/heavy hair is very difficult to maintain, and hard to cover fully when wearing a Hijab. So as long as the haircut does not imitate the Kuffar and is still long (not imitating the men), then is it permissible? If not, what is the proof of this?

Q: Can women apply black colour dye? If not then what is the alternative method for getting black colour hair.

Q: Can a Muslim woman pierce ANYWHERE on her ears and more than once?
