Q: i am getting married i am wondering if wearing lipstick is allowed. some have fobidden it. can you please help me? its is to be worn in priveta. (email)

A: To beautify without the taint of arrogance and for the purposes of creating affection and love between spouses is rewarding. This applies to both — men and woman. All beautification should be done within the parameters of good taste and religious protocol.

Wearing lipstick in the condition as described by you is allowed. The ingredients in the lipstick must not contain animal fats or forbidden ingredients.

Smearing ones self with beef fat that if haram, pig fat which remains haram is not allowed by all religious standards.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
