Q: Is hair or beard dyeing permissible only for job purposes which is advised by an employer? It is a customer service sales job. The employer advised me to colour my hair and beard black to show that I am younger because markets like young energetic people. It is a garments label industry. Here, colouring the hair or beard black (to show that I am young) will not cheat people. It is only to show that the company has appointed smart officials. There is no cheating in the product. Product quality will remain ok as per company policy. I need a ruling in this regard.

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to wear a cloak that ties above the waist, STRICTLY in front of Muslim women?
Here is an explanation: A belt that ties above the waist will make the cloak a bit tighter towards the top part of the body, it will not be loose fitting on the upper part of the body. However, the lower part and the navel to knees will be covered without showing the shape of the body. This will be strictly in front of Muslim women (e.g. a function). Basically will she be exposing her satr (her satr in front of Muslim women) in this situation?
