    This is classed Sahih by Shiekh Albani in his Silsila Ahadith-e-Sahiha 4/464-466 (Hadith Number 1849).

    This is condemnation of women who intentionally show off their embellishments/adornments which were supposed to be covered in accordance with Quran Surah Nur where norms of Gender Interaction are mentioned.

    Please see for details:

    Word Tabarruj is used in Quran 33:33 in the context of Wives of the Prophet (sws) and following is the translation:

    “Abide still in your homes and do not display your finery as women used to do in the days of jahiliyyah ( اگلی جاہلیت کی سی سج دھج نہ دکھاتی پھرو)”

    (Excerpt from Quran 33:33)

      Are the emballishments of the face & hands excluded in this narration? Bcz in one narration a female came infront of a sahabi & Nabi alaihisalam after adorning her self but prophet didn’t said any thing

    Tabuurj means alluring men with extraordinary embellishment. A modest or decent woman doesn’t do that. This is spreading Fuhush and the punishment of Fuhush is azab e aleem, painful punishment. The hadith refers to the same.

    Embellishment of hands and face is allowed to be exposed as they fall under the category of ‘exception’ which is allowed in the verse 24:31. This is about usual adornment.

    However if face or hands are adorned with extraordinary make up for the purpose of Taburruj, it would be prohibited.

    Party makeup is not taburrj. Taburruj is a makeup which for example a prostitute does to allure men.

    For example the make up of a decent women is similar to that of a prostitute,like the face & hands ,as they are “exception”if her intention is just to look presentable even In front of men as seen in our gatherings ,while the other lady intend to seduce men, because of this varied intentions can both of them differ in ruling? More over the word “tabarruj” how can be defined as emballishment for alluring? I mean how we reached to this point that this word mean emballishment for sake of seduction not for general presentable appearance?

    Just for clarity like you mentioned party make up is not tabarruj similarly bridal make is not aswell? Since it is heavy make up but all brides get it done to look beautiful. Obviously not with the intention to allure/seduce men

    And i have the same question as above that tabaruj includes the intention to seduce/allure men? As in niyat insan ki iska hisa hoti hai?

    If a prostitute does the decent make, it does not make the make indecent but rather makes her look decent. Her intention sare with her.

    The meaning of Taburruj in the dictionary:

    إِظهارُ الزِّينَةِ وَمَا يُسْتَدْعَى بهِ شَهْوَةُ الرّجالِ (تاج العروس من جواهر القاموس (5/ 417)

    زینت کا اظہار کرنا جس سے مردوں میں شہوت اجاگر کرنا مقصود ہو۔

    It is rather desirable in the case of the husband.

    Correction: “If a prostitute applies decent makeup, it does not make the decent makeup indecent, rather it makes her look decent. Her intention stays with her.”
