Meaning Of Tabarruj In Hadith (تبرج)
Tabuurj means alluring men with extraordinary embellishment. A modest or decent woman doesn’t do that. This is spreading Fuhush and the punishment of Fuhush is azab e aleem, painful punishment. The hadith refers to the same. Embellishment of hands and face is allowed to be exposed as they fall under the category of ‘exception’ which is allowed in the verse 24:31. This is about usual adornment. However if face or hands are adorned with extraordinary make up for the purpose of Taburruj, it would be prohibited. Party makeup is not taburrj. Taburruj is a makeup which for example a prostitute does to allure men.
If a prostitute does the decent make, it does not make the make indecent but rather makes her look decent. Her intention sare with her.
