Ce que l'islam enseigne sur Se maquiller
Selon l'islam, Se maquiller : Mubah (neutre).
La parure est mubah et peut être louable : « Allah est Beau et Il aime la beauté » (Muslim 91), et le Coran parle de la parure donnée aux serviteurs (7:31-32 : « qui a interdit la parure d'Allah qu'Il a produite ? »). La frontière est le contexte : pudeur publique (24:31 — parure montrée comme il convient), pas de tromperie (l'apparence fabriquée dans les négociations matrimoniales attire la critique), et pas de prodigalité (israf).

Islam's makeup verdict flows from some of the tradition's most generous texts. The bedrock: 'Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty' (Muslim 91) — spoken, notably, about a man in fine clothes, and generalized by scholars to adornment as such; the Quran's defense of adornment against over-asceticism — 'who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants?' (7:32) — is one of revelation's gentler rhetorical questions. The framework conditions: modesty (24:31's 'let them not display their adornment except what is apparent' — the verse that anchors hijab discussions; makeup's public/private analysis follows the community's interpretation, with many scholars treating the made-up face in public through the hijab framework and others through custom); deception (a few contemporary scholars criticize makeup designed to misrepresent appearance permanently — the wedding-photos question — while permitting ordinary enhancement); extravagance (israf rules apply to the beauty budget); and harm (skin-health rules govern the chemicals). The tradition's own beauty-culture is rich — kohl is Sunnah (the Prophet's generation used it for the eyes, and it carries his example's blessing), henna is a wedding institution, and Muslim beauty influencers negotiating modesty frameworks are a modern genre the scholars are actively answering.

Is wearing makeup a sin?
No — permitted in every tradition here: adornment is defended in each of their own texts.
