Such matters have become normalised and this article will cover why eyelash extensions are forbidden. We are going to share evidences from authentication sources in this article, with views from Ulama and the Salaf as well as Hadiths that has been researched and gathered to prove this statement.
IBN UTHAYMEEN:
"Artificial eyelashes are not allowed because they resemble artificially lengthening the hair, that is the hair of the head:
The Prophet (ﷺ) has cursed the lady who lengthens her hair artificially and the one who gets her hair lengthened [Bukhari no. 5940]
If these lashes are from what I imagine now, in terms of putting black string which is like hair upon the eyelashes until they become apparent and appear as if they are a lot in order to beautify the eye, then this is from artificially lengthening the hair. The Prophet (ﷺ) cursed the one who does it to her head. As for if they are eyelashes with the meaning of changing the colour of the hair of the eyelid, then this is not prohibited”
[Noor ‘ala Darb no. 644 - Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen]
