Summary
This part of the ruling affirms that adornment and caring for beauty accord with women's natural disposition and are not opposed by Islam. Islam regulates adornment through limits, including that it is directed to the husband and to those permitted to see it. Cleanliness is given primary importance as the basis of all adornment and is an essential requirement for prayer. The text provided ends before the specific discussion of wudu-friendly cosmetics.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perhiasaan dan kecantikan adalah merupakan fitrah semulajadi bagi setiap wanita.
