The Sunnah of Kohl for our eyes
My only request for hubby who is presently in Mecca for his first Hajj was to pick up the “real” kohl for our eyes, as a girl-friend shared its medicinal value for eye infections.
Subhanallah, the girls never got pink eye before, and for the first time 2 of them and I just finished our prescription to clear our itchy, red eyes…Ouch!
We look forward to his return home, so we can take advantage of kohl, inshaAllah.
To learn more about Kohl, please read the following:
- Serendipitous Life’s Beauty of the Beholder’s Eyes shares this forgotten practice; more specifically the correct practice by using the correct kohl, and not resorting to just “looking good”.
- Discussions about kohl in the sunnah is shared here.
