Summary
Opening a beauty centre is permissible, because the default ruling for commercial dealings is permissibility and taking payment for beautification services is allowed. It becomes forbidden if the centre offers prohibited services such as tattooing, shaving the eyebrows and hair extensions. The guidelines mentioned include beautification free of deception and not altering Allah's creation, clean and harmless tools and cosmetics, premises that do not expose the awrah, and customers and staff of the same gender.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum membuka pusat kecantikan adalah harus selagi pusat kecantikan itu tidak menyediakan perkhidmatan berhias yang diharamkan atau melakukan perkara yang bertentangan dengan syarak.
