Q: If a woman is wearing the jilbab and a niqab, does she also have to wear a khimar over/underneath the jilbab though the jilbab covers her head anyway? I heard some people say that she has to wear both the khimar and the jilbab, is this true?

Q: I want to grow a beard but my mother is telling me to only grow my beard after marriage. I live in India and there is a lot of difficulty in finding a girl if someone has a beard. I want to get married as soon as possible because there is a lot of fitna and temptation here.

Q: If there is an aalimah and she is persistant on the fact she wants to trim her hair. She wants to do such because she she claims it will grow back healthier and complains of it getting stuck in her buttocks and tying her hair gives a headache she wants to cut it about to to 3/4 of the back. I have told her that Aalimahs should be guides and refrain from cutting and trimming her hair. What shall I say to her and if she does so what should my attitude be towards her?

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?
