Is It Permissible to Perform Wudu While Wearing Halal Makeup?

Dream - Halal certification for skincare or other cosmetic products is very important for some people. Especially for Muslims. Besides complying with Islamic law, halal certification often guarantees the safety of the products used.

Some people also believe that halal-certified cosmetics can still be used when performing ablution and ensure the validity of the ablution.

However, ablution will not be valid when cosmetics still coat the surface of your skin. This is because ablution water cannot penetrate the cosmetics used.

That's why the water penetration of cosmetics is very important for Muslims. "From the perspective of water penetration, it is important because we don't want to use cosmetics that cover our bodies. So that when performing ablution, the water does not touch our body parts and becomes invalid," said Muti Arintawati, Deputy Director of LPPOM MUI, quoted from the Instagram post @halalcorner.

Now, water penetration tests can be done in laboratories. But, you still have to remove makeup or other cosmetics before performing ablution to ensure the ablution remains valid. You can also use products that are easily removed with water to make it easier when performing ablution.

For women who never miss following beauty trends, they must be familiar with the method of eyebrow embroidery. As quoted from hellosehat.com, eyebrow embroidery is a cosmetic procedure to fill in the eyebrows using colored pigments. The pigments used are like natural hair that is attached following the natural direction of hair growth.

The selected color pigment will be adjusted to the color of the original eyebrow hair. So that the result of eyebrow embroidery will look natural. Eyebrow embroidery is different from tattooing, where the process involves using a needle to penetrate the skin and make the drawing permanent.

For eyebrow embroidery, the coloring is only on the epidermis layer of the skin. So eyebrow embroidery only lasts for a few years and can be done again after it fades. By doing eyebrow embroidery, it can enhance the appearance of your eyebrows. Those with thin eyebrows can appear thicker. And the color of the eyebrows can also appear more defined because pigments have been applied.

The Ruling on Eyebrow Embroidery in Islam

Allah SWT has created humans in the best form. Both men and women have their own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, as servants of Allah SWT, we should be grateful for everything that Allah SWT has given us. This is explained in the words of Allah SWT in Surah At-Tin, verse 4, which says:

Portrait of Keysha Alea Malakiano, Sandrina and Rico Ceper's Daughter, Studying Abroad, Her Appearance is Striking!

لَقَدْخَلَقْ نَاالْاِنْسَ انَفِيْٓاَحْ سَنِتَقْوِيْ مٍۖ

Meaning: “Indeed, We have created man in the best form.” (Quran, Surah At-Tin: 4).

However, in reality, humans often feel that something is lacking in themselves, especially in terms of appearance. For example, some women who undergo eyebrow embroidery. In this practice, it is important for women to know the ruling on eyebrow embroidery in Islam, whether it is permissible or not.

In this regard, Islam has set limits on women's appearance to avoid violating Islamic law. As explained in the following hadith:

عن إبراهيم ع ن علقمة عن ع بد الله قال لعن الله الو اشمات والمست وشمات والنام صات والمتنمص ات والمتفلجا ت للحسن المغ يرات خلق الل ه

Meaning: “ From Ibrahim bin Alqomah from Abdillah Ra. said Allah cursed women who wear tattoos, people who request tattoos, those who remove hair from their faces, those who request hair removal from their faces and those who file their teeth to beautify themselves and change Allah's creation.”

Quoted from bincangsyariah.com, in the book Al-Minhaj Syarh Shahih Muslim, Imam Nawawi explains that the term al-Waasyimah is a form of fail (subject) derived from wasyama which means inserting a needle into a body part to implant color. Where the color will change to blue or also called a tattoo. The same goes for eyebrow embroidery methods, although in this method it does not penetrate deep layers.

Eyebrow embroidery itself falls into the activity of tattooing (al-wasym) and part of an-nashimah, which is the person who shaves facial hair. Still in the same book, Imam Nawawi explains that shaving hair on the face such as eyebrows and the edges of the face is haram. But it will be different if a woman has a mustache and beard, then it is allowed and even recommended to shave it.

The problem that arises from eyebrow embroidery is its resemblance to tattoos. In addition, this also causes pain and alters Allah's creation. Now, as it is known that tattoos are prohibited in Islam. Meanwhile, eyebrow embroidery, as quoted from umma.id, is part of the development of the medical world for beauty that uses new methods, where its working method has similarities with tattoos. Allahu alam.
