Is working as a receptionist in a women's beauty salon forbidden (haram)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A man's work in a women's beauty salon is impermissible if it entails him seeing 'awraat (parts of the body that must be covered) and forbidden intermingling with women. The money earned from it is ill-gotten gain, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every body that is nourished by unlawful earnings, the Fire is more befitting for it."
