These competitions are reprehensible and contrary to Islamic law, as they violate the rulings on covering (tastar) and the prohibition against a woman displaying her adornment before non- men. They are based on publishing pictures of women's faces, or their eyes, or their hands adorned with nail polish, which is considered an incitement to sin and immorality, and a propagation of the causes of corruption and depravity. The حرمة (prohibition) increases if participation is for financial compensation.
