Dress & Attire

Q: Are all these ways (hot wax, cold wax, razer machines, creams) to remove body hairs (legs, hands, face, underarms) permissible for a woman as there is a great misconception among people. Please do elaborate it in detail.

Q: Is it permissible for a Muslim girl to have a haircut when she wears hijab and niqaab? What are the rulings about this? I have heard a Hadith that Hazrat Aaisha (Radiyallahu Anha) used to cut her hair till it reaches her ear lobes. Is it authentic?

Q: Is growing a beard compulsory?

Q: Can a woman remove her hand and leg hairs by waxing or by razer machines or cream?

Q: I have heard that applying mehndi (hena) before eid (on the night of eid) is sunnah and will you get reward for applying it on hands and feet. Is this true according to Islam? If someone don't apply for eid or before eid, are they committing a sin? Will they get punished for it?

Q: Can a male dye his hair red or blue or any other colour besides black?

Q: With regards to your clothing going below your ankles, I was told that the condition is that it must be worn from top but jeans and pants are worn from the bottom, so how come that also falls under the impermissibility of flowing below your ankles?

Q: Is wearing the kurta Sunnah? What is the sunnah method of wearing clothes?

Q: What is the ruling on tattoos? Can a person get tattoos? I have heard that it is permissible while some say it is not. Also I want to know what should a person do if he had tattoos before he was a Muslim or if he was a Muslim but ignorant of the fact? Is there any punishment and can they offer prayer with tattoos? Can a person with tattoo perform hajj or umrah? Also should a person get his tattoo removed or not because some of my friends told me that a person is not Muslim if he has tattoos he should remove it? But what if the person can't afford to do so or if the method of removing tattoos is painful?

Q: Is it permissible to wear a turban without a tail like how the turkisih Imams wear it? If yes, will it be regarded as a Sunnah?
