Make-up

[Tanya Khan]

Can I wear make-up whilst praying? :-[

I have to go work and I want to start praying ion the prayer room. The problem is my skin is not very nice and my eyes are the worst. I can't leave the house without make-up. I don't think I have gone out without make-up for past 12 years. :X

[Intisar]

:sl: Unless you did wudhu before putting your make-up on, and didn't break it, then yes you can pray with make-up on. The reason why is that, like nailpolish, it prevents water from going to the skin and does not make one clean for salah (which is the point of wudhu, purification when you're facing Allaah for prayer).
