Is men's use of skin-lightening products, which may or may not mention instructions specific to women, considered imitating women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to men using skin-lightening creams, provided they are free from harm. This is not considered imitation of women, as beautification and perfuming are not exclusive to them, and a man may adorn himself with whatever does not alter his natural creation.
