Is it permissible to use lipstick if one is with purdah dress?

Question

Is it permissible to use lipstick if one is with purdah dress?

Answer

Purdah dress or no purdah dress, lipstick is haraam.

Q, My brother publicly and shamelessly displays his haraam relationship with a woman. When I admonished him, he retorted that it is his sin and he will be punished, hence I should not worry. He will now be getting married to the woman. I do not want to attend his Nikah. The family says that I will be guilty of breaking family ties by abstaining. What should I do?

A. In fact, it will be sinful for you to attend the Nikah of your insolent, faasiq brother who has displayed contempt for Allah Ta'ala. Your family is in error. Ignore their protests and boycott your brother's Nikah.
