What is the ruling on wearing artificial eyelashes for special occasions, knowing that the hairdresser misled the questioner into believing it was permissible? Is she sinful for her mother and aunt going out wearing the eyelashes? And what is the ruling on eyebrow bleaching?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to extend her eyelashes with artificial ones, and repentance to Allah is due for doing so.
As for lightening the eyebrows, it is not included in what is forbidden, because it is neither plucking nor akin to it.
