This makeup is often used daily, whether going to campus or to the office. Then, the Islamic religion itself, does cushion interfere with ablution? Considering that a Muslim has an obligation to perform five daily prayers that must be preceded by ablution.

Makeup that is water-resistant, such as foundation, mascara, and eyeliner, can be safely used as long as they are not removed during ablution. However, makeup that is not water-resistant, such as eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush-on, should be avoided as they can hinder the water from reaching the skin during ablution. There are several types of water-resistant makeup, including foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick, which have special formulas to prevent them from smudging easily when exposed to water.

Meanwhile, non-waterproof makeup such as eyeshadow, blush-on, and lip cream can easily smudge when exposed to water. In Islam, performing ablution (wudhu) is one of the valid requirements for praying. The procedure of ablution according to Islamic rules includes several steps, including intention, washing hands, cleaning the mouth and nose, washing the face, washing hands up to the elbows, wiping the head, and washing the feet up to the ankles.

In wudhu, it is important to ensure that water comes into direct contact with the skin. If a cushion or certain material obstructs water from reaching the skin, it can affect the validity of wudhu. Therefore, it is advisable to choose materials that allow water to easily pass through during the wudhu process. However, the main principle of wudhu is to ensure that all obligatory parts are moistened with water.

According to contemporary scholars from Hadramaut, cosmetics that do not hinder the ablution are cosmetics that do not form a layer that obstructs the water of ablution from reaching the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the cosmetic products used have obtained halal certification from MUI. Halal certification from MUI is important to ensure that the ingredients used in the cosmetics do not contain forbidden substances and are safe to use in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

The guidance from the Deputy Director of LPPOM MUI, Ir. Muti Arintawati, emphasizes the importance of searching for the MUI halal logo on product packaging labels as a sign that the product has undergone rigorous research and examination. By considering these criteria, Muslim women can choose cosmetics that do not hinder ablution and remain in accordance with the principles of fiqh and the halal status of the product. Therefore, the presence of the MUI halal logo is important in ensuring the selection of cosmetics that do not disrupt the act of ablution.

Some of the qualities that make "wudhu friendly" cosmetics include: Permeability to water: Cosmetic products should allow water to pass through and reach the skin during wudhu without forming a barrier layer that blocks water. Not impermeable: Avoid products that form a layer that cannot be penetrated by water, such as certain types of foundation or lipstick that can prevent water from reaching the skin.

Easy to wash or disappear: Products that can be easily removed or disappear when in contact with water, ensuring that water can directly reach the skin. Free from forbidden substances: Make sure the cosmetics do not contain substances that are considered forbidden in Islam.

Some specific cosmetic brands may claim that their products are wudhu-friendly, and it can be beneficial to read the product labels or seek additional information from the manufacturer. Products like wudhu-friendly nail polish, which are designed to allow water to pass through and wash the nails during wudhu, can be an option for those seeking a solution that aligns with their religious requirements. Always check the ingredients and warnings on the product label to ensure suitability for wudhu needs.
