Sunnahs and etiquette of applying kohl

Let’s listen to the Sunnahs and etiquette of applying kohl mentioned in the booklet ‘101 Madani Pearls’, written by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ:

1      The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘The best kohl (Surmah) amongst all is ‘Ismid’, as it improves the eyesight and grows the eyelashes.’ (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, pp. 115, Hadees 3497)

2      There is no harm in using kohl made from stones. It is, however, Makruh (disliked) for a man to use black kohl with the intention of beautification, and it is not disliked if the intention is not to beautify. (Fatawa Hindiyyah,      vol. 5, pp. 359)

3      It is Sunnah to use kohl at the time of sleeping. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 180)
