Question: Is
it religiously correct to do make-up and wear Bindyah, which is a kind
of an ornamental mark worn between the two eye brows.
Answer: In
principle, Islam has not forbidden women to satisfy their natural desire
of beautifying themselves. It is the Almighty Himself who has placed this
urge in them. At the same time, Islam is the religion of inner purification.
It wants a person to always remain mindful of this. Therefore, make-up
should neither exceed the limits nor become a means of showing off. In
the light of this principle, you can judge for yourself about adorning
one’s self with Bindiyah.
