In Pakistan, where mixed gatherings at weddings are common, is it permissible for girls to wear culturally embellished dresses and makeup while adhering to proper Hijab?
Muslim female is ordered by Allah in Quran not to show her beauty to outsiders (Non Mahram). Sura An-Noor, verse 31. This order is for every time and everywhere with no exception.
May cultural practices are not accepted by Shariah yet done by some people out of carelessness or other un Islamic reasons.
Wassalam.
