Is it lawful for a newly married woman to apply make up and not to cover herself completely for a certain period?

Q: Is it permissible for a Muslim girl to use cosmetics and uncover her face for a week or a month after getting married? What will her husband do in this case? What is the ruling in this regard?


A: It is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face before or after marriage in front of non-Mahrams (not a spouse or an unmarriageable relative). Her husband has to advise and teach her. He should also point out the ruling, so that she will stop this behavior. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
