Is it permissible to lighten the hair above the upper lip using a safe cosmetic product for facial hair? And does night precede day, or does the day begin with the break of dawn? And is it permissible for an unmarried woman to raise children (females only)?

First: There is no harm in bleaching or removing hair that grows in the mustache area. It is permissible for a woman to remove hair from her beard, mustache, legs, or arms, provided that the dye does not cause harm, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm."

Second: The day (daylight) begins at the rising of Fajr (dawn), and night precedes it. Thus, the night of Friday is from the sunset of Thursday until the Fajr of Friday.

Third: It is permissible for an unmarried woman to raise girls, and she will be rewarded for teaching them, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the rewards of those who follow him," and his saying: "I and the guardian of an orphan will be in Paradise like this," (and he gestured with his index and middle fingers).
