462. False Eye Lashes

By Asma Bint Shameem

Most of the ulama say wearing false eye lashes is not allowed. 
Some of the ulama allow wearing fake eyelashes (lashes that you glue on) if it’s made of *fake* hair (non human hair) and is *ONLY worn for the husband*. 

But it’s best to avoid it to be on the safe side. 

Please note that wearing false eyelashes is DIFFERENT from eyelash *extensions*. 

That’s prohibited, because the scholars say it’s the *same* as wearing hair “extensions”.

And the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam CURSED the one who wears hair extensions. 

He said:
“Allaah has cursed the one who fixes hair extensions and the one who has that done.” (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 

Shaikh Abdur Rahman ibn Nasr Al-Barrak was asked:

What is the verdict on wearing artificial fingernails and 
eyelashes? 
Is this act considered among the acts of joining false hair with real hair? 

Answer: Adding synthetic fingernails disagrees with the sunnah and (fitrah) natural disposition. 

The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
There are five things among the Fitrah: Following these words, he Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam mentioned  clipping the fingernails. Also Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam   mentioned when the nails must be clipped; and that they should'nt grow  unclipped beyond forty days. Intentionally extending the fingernails causes  a person to resemble an animal or disbeliever. This act is disfeaturing for a woman and not beauty. When a woman adds fake nails this shows she has a  corrupt fitrah and decreased intellect. Similarly, adding synthetic eyelashes resembles the disbelievers and is among the acts of joining false hair with real hair. I consider both of these actions to be impermissible.”

And Allah knows best.
