What is the ruling on wearing colored contact lenses in front of non-mahram men and light makeup when meeting a suitor for the first time to make a decision about acceptance or rejection?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Wearing contact lenses for cosmetic purposes has been previously deemed permissible under certain conditions. As for wearing makeup when meeting a suitor, jurists have agreed on the permissibility of a woman adorning herself for suitors.

Nevertheless, it is preferable to avoid it so that the suitor sees the woman as she naturally is.
