They came to the Prophet and asked him for permission to use kohl, and the Messenger of Allah Q& said: 'One of you used to stay in the worst part of her house, in her worst garments' – or 'in her worst garments in her house – for a year, then if a dog passed by she would throw a piece of dung and then come out.
