Question
Asalamualaikum,
As a guy to look more awake in office and other places am I allowed to wear makeup to just to make me look awake?
For example concealer which provides targeted coverage to hide specific imperfections like dark circles, blemishes, age spots, and redness, making them blend into the skin and light red blush which adds color to the cheeks?
Also to keep my legs/feet/ and tummy warm can i wear womens closed foot tights underneath my clothes?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
- The most you can do is use moisturising cream for better skin.
- You should instead wear thick socks and thermal trousers for men.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam cursed the men who imitate women and the women who imitate men.
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُتَشَبِّهَاتِ بِالرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ بِالنِّسَاءِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ
Translation: “Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam cursed the women who imitate men and the men who imitate women.” (Tirmidhi – 2784)
