What is the ruling on posting videos in which a girl appears with her full makeup? She also shows her hair and arms. She does intend to be a tempting girl.
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
Primarily, a Muslim woman should do her best to be modest and to appear in decent clothes. She is not allowed to show her hair or any parts of her body to strangers except for what is allowed and to whom is allowed to see. If she does the contrary, she is sinful. It is also strongly haram to post videos in which she appears as a tempting girl; it is even worse to send such videos to other impudent guys. This action is explicitly haram. It is not a controversial issue which could have two opinions or two sides. Allah ordains Muslims to appear in decent clothing, and He stresses on this issue by ordaining women in specific to be prude. If she disobeys what Allah says, her disobedience will be considered a rejection of what Allah ordains. Her behavior also shows that she is very nasty. It tells that she has nothing to show to others but her body. She has no knowledge, thoughts or ideology to offer. A woman who does so is a woman who considers herself a product, and she promotes herself. She puts herself in the lowest level in the society as she shows her body to those who want interest only. Certainly, she deserves Allah’s Anger. Hopefully, she regrets and repents.
