Question
Assalamualaikum..can a woman wear hijab and still apply lipstick?not make up only mild lipstick.
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
If a woman goes outside where non-mahram men can see her, even mild lipstick that beautifies the lips should be avoided, because it is considered adornment (zeenah).
