Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's
Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Aslam-o-alaikum
I have a question regarding my education. I am doing an esthetics course in
Canada but the problem seems to be that in my course, you MUST do your eybrows
(wax them or somehow make them etc...),
and also
when it comes to the waxing part of the course, you MUST be completely NUDE in
front of the class.
What
should I do? I don`t know whether to continue on or not? What does Quran say
about this and what are some hadeeths(if any) say about this? Before I chose
this course, I was unaware of this information, but now I am stuck because I
have paid all my fees and purchased all the books and therefore there is no
refund of the fees and books. Please guide me here. Please answer me as soon as
possible.
Thank
you

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari 7.815 Narrated by
Abdullah
Allah has cursed those women who practice
tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove
their eye-brow hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth
artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created
by Allah. Why then should I not curse
those whom the Prophet (saws) has cursed?
Beloved Sister in Islam, the Messenger of Allah (saws)
invoked the curse of Allah on those women who remove or pluck their eye-brow
hairs; and the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah is on those people who do not
cover their ‘satr’ (body parts that must never be displayed) in the presence of
others.
Beloved Sister in Islam, regardless of the stated
conditions, fear Allah and save yourself from doing anything that has clearly
been declared forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (saws).
Beloved Sister, if the school does not permit you an
exemption, you can choose another course to study; and even if they don’t
refund the money, rest assured that if you abstain from transgressing the
boundaries of Allah only for His Sake, He will enrich you from His Endless
Grace and Bounty.
As those who have, of our own free wills, accepted
submission to our Lord Most Gracious, it is incumbent of every believer who
sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, to obey and follow His Commands and
Guidance unconditionally. Allah is our
witness, if you abstain from indulging in the forbidden only for Allah’s Sake,
He will reward you generously from His Grace and Mercy in this world and the
Hereafter.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah
Haa-Meem berses 30-32:
30 In the case of those who say "Our Lord is Allah" and
further stand straight and steadfast (in the trials that befall them), the
Angels descend on them (and say): "Fear ye not, nor grieve! But receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden
(of Bliss) the which ye were promised!
31 "We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter:
therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have
all that ye ask for!”
32 "A hospitable gift from The One
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful!"
You might lose your current course of study, and you might
lose some money in the bargain; but your sacrifice will earn you the Pleasure
and Good Will of that Being Who is the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and
everything that exists in between!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s
Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
Burhan
