[h=5]All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
If this kohl prevents water from reaching the skin, then ablution is not valid and Ghusl (ritual bath) is not valid; so, one has to remove it to allow water reaching the skin. It is a condition for the validity of ablution and Ghusl that water should reach the skin of the washed limb. However, if this kohl does not have any size [volume, thickness], but it just leaves its effect on the skin like the stone kohl, then there is no harm in using it, and ablution is valid as this kind of kohl does not prevent water from reaching the skin.
Allaah Knows best.[/h]
Traditional eye cosmetics ‘Surma’ use is a popular practice. A total 34 ‘Surma’ samples of black, brown, orange, grey and white were collected and analysed for the presence of lead. High lead levels were detected in all samples except white colour ‘Surma’. Blood lead concentrations were measured in 93 children, of whom 69 used ‘Surma’ regularly. The mean blood lead concentration of ‘Surma’ users was found to be 29.6 ± 10.2 μg/100 ml; where as non user’s value was 4.9 ± 0.8 μg/100 ml. Also, the low haemoglobin levels were observed in the users (10.2 ± 1.4 g/100 ml). In conclusion, the use of ‘Surma’ is associated with high blood lead concentration with significant reduction of haemoglobin levels. For better quality of life, the use of lead free ‘Surma’ is suggested.
