Default Is it ok for guys nowadays to wear kohl?

Well I don't know if i spelled it right, but its the stuff the prophet SAW used to wear on the eyelids...i think? what you guys think? I may or may not have done it before!

It's good for the eyes also...i think.

btw I'm not a modernize islam type, but just that it is a pretty feminine thing to do in our times.

If you saw a muslim guy doing it what would you say/do...if anything?

I know a guy who wears henna on his nails, he pulls it off. I guess it depends. You could be seen as gay, goth or just cultural.

What's kohl?

I know that there's a store called "Kohls", but I'm not sure what it is.

it's completely acceptable, & in fact commendable. the sunnah is not altered or dictated by the social customs of the kuffar. the Prophet (SAW) was the epitome of manhood & he wore kohl.
