This allowance for makeup is only permissible and allowed and it is not Fardh or Wajib. Being occupied with makeup all the time and wasting time in this is not correct. <br /> <br /> This is only external beautification. Muslim women should make efforts for the permanent beautification of their inner selves. <br /> <br /> The Ummahatul Momineen (The mothers of the Ummah), the female Sahabah did not concern themselves with external beauty. They were more concerned about the purification of their hearts, their thoughts and about the beautification of their inner selves and they advised others to do the same. Hadhrat Umar Faruq (May Allah be well pleased with him) said in his sermon:<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Translation: </b></span> Beautify yourselves for the big summons, when you will be presented and nothing of yours that is hidden will remain hidden.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #993300"><b>(Kanz Ul Ummal, Hadith No. 44203)</b></span><br />
