Royal Chief Mufti Declares Open Hair, Makeup at Weddings as Haram for Muslim Women

• Maulana Chaudhary Ifrahim Hussain, Royal Chief Mufti of Uttar Pradesh, expressed concern over increasing immodesty at weddings.
• He stated that mixed gatherings of non-mahram men and women at weddings are against Islamic teachings.
• Islam mandates pardah and hijab for women, with Quranic commands for both men and women to lower their gaze and conceal adornments.
• Attending weddings with open hair, makeup, and without hijab is deemed impermissible (na-jaiz) and forbidden (haram) in Islam.
• Violating Allah's commands regarding pardah is considered a sin, making women who do so participants in sin.
