Accepted Answer

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.

There are many prohibitions in working as a nail technician for non-Muslim women and beautifying them in general, among which is that working in beautifying non-Muslim women is a kind of helping them in adorning themselves and using cosmetics, and in general they do not care about going out in that condition; Allaah Says (what means): {... but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment.} [Quran 5:2] Among these prohibitions also is that the scholars agreed that it is forbidden for a Muslim to work as a servant for non-Muslims: washing their clothes, vacuuming their houses, or cooking their food etc, because this is a humiliation for the Muslim and a glorification for the non-Muslim.

Therefore, in our view, it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to work in beautifying non-Muslim women because of the prohibitions which we mentioned.

For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 81686 and 86219.

Allaah Knows best.
