Fatwas on beauty matters

Here are some things that are permissible and non-permissible in beautifying ourselves from our scholars of ahlus sunnah.

This is the ruling regarding removing hair from the eyebrows like plucking, waxing them by Shaykh Bin Baz

This ruling regards to those who have a unibrow by Shaykh Bin Baz.

This ruling is regarding a women wearing a wig for her husband. 

Question: Is it allowed for a woman to use a wig to beautify herself for her husband? Is this considered part of the prohibition of adding hair to one's hair?

Response: Wigs are forbidden and are considered a type of adding hair to one's hair. Although it is not exactly that, it makes the woman's hair look longer than it is and becomes similar to adding hair. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) cursed the one who does the adding of hair as well as the one who requested it. However, if the woman does not have any hair upon her head, for example, if she is bald, then she may use a wig to cover up that blemish as it is considered permissible to remove blemishes. For example, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) allowed the man who had his nose cut off during a battle to wear a fake nose of gold. The matter is more flexible than that. It might also include the question of having plastic surgery to fix a small nose and so forth. However, beautification is not the same as removing a blemish. If the matter is that of removing a blemish, there is no harm in it, such as when the nose is crooked and needs to be straightened or the removal of a beauty mark. There is no harm in such acts. But it is not to remove a blemish, such as tattooing or removing eyebrow hairs, then it is forbidden. Using a wig, even with the permission and approval of the husband, is forbidden for there is permission or approval in matters that Allaah has forbidden.

The Ruling regarding on women dying their hair black.

Question: Is it permissible for a woman to dye the hair upon her head with black dye?

Answer: It is not permissible for a woman or other than her to colour their hair with black dye, because of the statement of the Messenger sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: ”Change this colour, and stay away from the black (colour).” [1] As for changing (the hair colour) with other than black, then no problem, or (changing it) with henna or mixed al-Katam, [2] so there is no problem with this if the colour changes to other than black, or between black and red. _______________________________ [1] Reported by Muslim is his Saheeh. [2] Translators Note: ÇáßÊã ‘al-Katam’ is a plant that gives a dark colour, from the myrtle family.

Transplanting hair
 Question: The transplanting of hair of those who have suffered from alopecia, is done by taking hair from the back of the head and transplanting it in the affected area. So is this permissible?

Response: Yes, it is permissible; Because this is done from the aspect of restoring something to the state in which Allaah [first] created it, as well as from the aspect of removing a defect. This is not [to be considered] from the aspect of beautification, or exceding that which Allaah 'Azza wa Jall has created, so it is [therefore] not [to be considered] from the aspect of changing the creation of Allaah. Rather, it is restoring that which is missing and [thereby] removing a defect.

And it is not hidden [to you] that which occurs in the story[1] of the three men, one of whom was bald, who expressed his desire that Allaah 'Azza wa Jall restores his hair; So the angel wiped his head and Allaah restored his hair and blessed him with [a] good [head of] hair.
