In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

 All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

If the makeup or nail polish has a barrier that prevents water from the parts of the body we are supposed to wash during wudhu, then the wudhu is not valid. Washing them with water is an essential requirement for the validity of wudhu.

 

If the so called halal nail polish does not act as a barrier, then wudhu is valid.

 

According to some scholars, oral sex with certain conditions is allowed as long as it is consensual among the spouses; and as long as one does not ejaculate into the mouth. Sperm drops are filthy; and hence we are not to swallow it, and we should wash our mouth if it is contact with it.

 

As for as eyelash lifting, I’m not sure of this procedure. However, if it is akin to pulling out eye-lashes altogether, then it is not desirable. If, however, it is only a procedure to shape and beautify it without use of harmful chemicals, then it would be permissible.

 

We are allowed to trim eye-brows or keep them  neat and beautiful as explained above.

The proper method of Ghusl (ritual bath) involves the following steps:

 

1. Make the Niyyah (intention) to perform Ghusl for purification.

 

2. Wash your private parts thoroughly with water.

 

3. Perform Wudu’ (ablution) except for washing of your feet, which you can do later while bathing the body.

 

4. Wash the entire body, starting with your head and the right side, followed by the left.

 

5. It is preferable to wash whole body three times. The minimum is once.

 

Once you complete the above steps, you are eligible to perform the Salah (prayer).

 

Body waxing is fine as long as it is considered to be a healthy procedure –- as determined by your physician or medical practitioner. Another important condition is that while undergoing the procedure, one does not have to expose oneself in front of a person who is not your lawful spouse.

I pray to Allah to inspire us to cherish faith and beautify our hearts with it; and inspire us to abhor disbelief, obscenities and transgressions.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
