Question :
Some of my friends use eggs, honey milk to remove freckles and spots that appear on the face. Is that allowed?
Answer :
It is well-known that those are types of food that Allah has created to
feed the body. If a person needs to use them for another purpose, that
is not improper, such as a cure, then there is no harm. This is based on
Allah's statement,
"He it is Who created for you all that is no earth."
Al-Baqara 29.
His saying, "for you," means that, in general, it may be used in any
beneficial way as long as there is nothing to indicate its prohibition.
As for using it for beautification, there are other sources that are
preferred to be used. However, there is nothing wrong with
beautification. In fact, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty.
However, to exaggerate in this matter until it becomes the number one
concern, and one neglects many other things and forgets many of the
beneficial aspects of his religion and worldly life, is not allowed. It
is type of extravagance and Allah does not love extravagance.
Shaikh ibn
Uthaimin
