What should I do about my sister who wears makeup and contact lenses and goes to university, despite our parents’ objection, and she secretly buys makeup after it’s confiscated, with my fear for my father’s health, who suffers from high blood pressure, if he finds out? And would informing my mother be considered instigation and a sin for which I would be held accountable?
A woman going out adorned with makeup and with her face uncovered is a reprehensible act that must be demanded to be changed by hand, tongue, or heart. Informing the parents about what the sister is doing, if the benefit outweighs the harm, is desirable. However, if the harm outweighs the benefit, then advising her and praying for her guidance is sufficient.
