Praise be to Allah.
Bleaching the skin is done for one of two reasons:
- It is done in the pursuit of beauty and perfection. This is not permitted because it involves changing the creation of Allah , and because it is regarded as being in the same class as tattooing , practitioners of which were cursed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
- It is done to remove a fault or blemish, such as a black spot or something similar on the hand or elsewhere, which a person bleaches in an attempt to remove the blemish. There is nothing wrong with this, because it is counted as removing faults .

And Allah knows best.
