misc women's issues

Question:

1) Can a woman trim her hair due to split ends or dead hair on the tips of her hair?
2) Can a woman use perfume for her husband?
3) Can a woman offer salat if she has used perfume, nail polish or any type of makeup after doing wudu?
4) Can a woman offer salat in jeans and shirt?
5) Can a woman recite Quran or do daily taleem wearing see-through dupatta?
6) Can a woman pluck her eyebrows for her husband if her husband has allowed her to do it? I have very thick black eyebrows and my husband doesn't like it.
7) If the husband doesn't want his wife to cover her face while going out, can a woman do so ?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1) Yes, in such a case she can trim just above the tip of her hair so that her hair can grow normally.

2) Yes, provided that she will not go out of her home with the fragrance of the perfume still lingering.

3) Yes.

4) No, she cannot. It is not permissible for a woman to wear jeans and shirt at any time, as jeans and shirt are clothes of men. It is not permissible for women to wear the clothes of men and vice-versa.

5) Although it will be permissible to do so, it is preferable and better that she wears a non see-through dupatta when reciting the Holy Quran or reading Islamic books.

6) No, it is not permissible to pluck and shape one’s eyebrows in order to beautify oneself, even if one’s husband allowed or instructed this. Women who pluck and shape their eyebrows in order to beautify themselves are cursed by Allah according to the hadith.

However, if your eyebrows are so thick that they do not appear normal, then it will be permissible to remove some hair from them to make them appear normal. More than this will not be permissible. (Ahsanul Fatawa: 8/75)

7) When a woman goes out, she must cover her entire body except for her palms and feet upto the ankles. If her husband tells her to do otherwise, she is not allowed to listen to him. She must prudently and respectfully explain to him the teachings of Islam in this regards.

And Allah knows best.
