Is applying light makeup during the prospective spouse viewing considered one of the reasons for acceptance that are taken into account for the marriage to be completed?
Causes are known in two ways: either through divine decree by experience, or through religious law by explicit text. The cosmic cause may be permissible () or forbidden (), so not every cause is permissible. Makeup for a betrothed woman may be a cosmic cause for the suitor's acceptance, and its application is permissible. Not every abandonment of a cause is blameworthy helplessness; blameworthy helplessness is the complete abandonment of causes under the pretext of reliance on God (). The betrothed woman who does not wear makeup so that the suitor sees her natural appearance is not blameworthy for that, and this is not blameworthy helplessness. One must be careful about saying: "If I had worn it, the marriage would have happened," because "if only" (law) opens the door to Satan's work. Rather, one should say: "Allah has decreed, and what He willed, He did."
