Whether wearing eyeliner while praying (salah) is haram (forbidden) depends on its ingredients and whether it hinders the completion of wudu (ablution).
Here's a breakdown:
-
Eyeliner Ingredients: If the eyeliner contains haram or impure ingredients (e.g., alcohol, pig-derived substances), then wearing it during prayer would not be permissible.
-
Wudu Compatibility: The primary concern is whether the eyeliner prevents water from reaching the skin during wudu. Wudu requires water to cover all parts of the body that are washed. If the eyeliner forms a barrier that stops water from reaching the skin, then the wudu is incomplete and invalid. Consequently, praying with an incomplete wudu is not permissible.
-
Solution: The key is to ensure that the eyeliner is removed before performing wudu. After completing wudu, one can then apply eyeliner and proceed with their prayer.
In summary, wearing eyeliner itself isn't inherently haram. However, it becomes problematic if it contains impure ingredients or prevents the proper completion of wudu. You need to remove the eyeliner before wudu to ensure its validity for prayer.
