Fiqh of Beauty & Adornment

Islamic Contemporary Fiqh Series – Fiqh of Beauty for women

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Islām permits and even encourages women to adorn themselves but within the Shar’ee parameters. With the development of the beautification industry in recent decades, there has emerged new methods of beauty enhancement to the point of even altering certain body parts for embellishment. All of this has fiqh implications since fiqh guides us to understand how to correctly practice Islām in every facet of life including adornment. Modern methods of beauty have resultantly transpired numerous enquiries on the Islamic legal status of certain beautification methods of whether they are permissible or not. So, to what extent is adornment permissible in Islām? What are its limitations? Is it permissible to alter or remove certain
bodily parts for the sake of pleasing one’s husband? This unique webinar aims to address these fundamental questions and much more through the guidance of Islamic legal principles using a holistic approach from the Quranic and prophetic evidence as well as the fiqh application.

AIM OF THE WEBINAR
The aim of this webinar is to equip the sisters with the rudimentary principles on the adornment in Islām and their limitations and how to apply them to modern methods of beautification.
