Ruling On Muslim Using Tattoo by Murainah1(m): 6:54am On Oct 20, 2017
Tattooing, in which the skin is pierced with a needle and a blue or other coloured dye is injected, is haraam in all forms, whether it causes pain or not, because it involves changing the creation of Allaah, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does tattoos and the one for whom that is done.

In al-Saheehayn it is narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allaah.” (al- Bukhaari, al-Libaas, 5587; Muslim, al- Libaas, 5538). With regard to all these matters, the ahaadeeth testify that the one who does them is cursed and that they are major sins. There is some difference of scholarly opinion as to the reason why they are forbidden.

It was said that it is because they are a form of deception, and it was said that it is because it is a way of changing the creation of Allaah, as Ibn Mas’ood said – which is more correct and also includes the first meaning. And it was suggested that what is forbidden is only that which is permanent, because that is changing the creation of Allaah; as for that which is not permanent, such as kohl which used for adornment by women, that is permitted by the scholars. (Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 5/393).

# Likewise the tattoos of today too are not permanent. You can remove them if you want to. Making suggestion (ruling) based on the fact that laali is not permanent therefore is permissible is weird and faulty. For a fact, both are Tattoo, and in your thought and analogy, anything tattoo on the body is "changing Allah's creation". Really, that's weird, WEIRD. Changing creation for example, is deliberate transgender(ism).

* For a fact, in the olden days, our mothers and fathers wear a form of tattoos which have information like date of birth, locations, compound name etc on their skin. This is so important then for obvious reasons like slave trade or lost.


# Personally, I would rather argue on the perspective of Morality.

* Tattoo of today is generally unreasonable, immoral and socially unwelcome. It is GENERALLY associated with the bad boys (and girls) and cultists.

It's permissible to dye one's hair. But it shouldn't be black dye, and must not be intended to imitate musicians and Kaafirs.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) himself,
and some of his closest companions
used to dye their hair with henna and/
or katam.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.167 Narrated
by Ubaid Ibn Juraij
And about the dyeing of hair with
Henna; no doubt I saw the Messenger
of Allah (saws) dyeing his hair with it
and that is why I like to dye (my hair
with it).
Al-Muwatta Hadith 51.8
Yahya related that Abd ar-Rahman ibn
al-Aswad ibn Abdal-Yaghuth used to sit
with us and he had a white beard and
hair. One day he came to us and he had
dyed them red, and the people said to
him, 'This is better.' He said, 'Aisha, the
wife of the Prophet (saws) sent her
slave girl Nukhayla to me yesterday. She
informed me that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq
used to dye his hair.'
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.257 Narrated
by Anas (the servant of the Prophet)
When the Prophet (saws) arrived (at
Medina), there was not a single
companion of the Prophet who had
grey and black hair except Abu Bakr,
and he dyed his hair with Hinna and
Katam (i.e. plants used for dying hair).
Through another group of narrators,
Anas bin Malik said,. "When the Prophet
arrived at Medina, the eldest amongst
his companions was Abu Bakr. He dyed
his hair with Hinna and Katam till it
became of dark red color."
Dyeing of the hair is absolutely
permissible in Islam. And if Allah has
blessed one with old age, it is
preferable that he does not dye his hair
jet-black, but rather dye it brown, dark
red; or with henna or katam as was the
practice and Sunnah of the Messenger
of Allah (saws) and his noble
companions.

# grin grin grin Clean tribal mark away? For what? It is never a sin on the person who carries it, the fact that s/he was NEVER aware or have anything to say when the parents puts it there. Cleaning it requires surgery where you remove or add flesh (plastic surgery).

# What you could have advice is staying away from the continuity of such practice or processes.

I’m sure red was a preference of the prophet due to availability of henna as a dyeing element or personal taste ! Bottom line is dyeing is allowed . It should be done in simple , good taste . If a Nigerian man decides to dye his hair a rich henna red he definitely will look irresponsible ! - it’s not really appropriate for our own clime as it probably was for theirs during the time of the prophet - moderation and common sense should prevail in all things .

Re: Ruling On Muslim Using Tattoo by Nobody: 4:26pm On Oct 20, 2017
First, (And I have said this before), I think it is insulting to all Muslims, the fact that you are forced to swear kalimot before commenting on this section. If you think it is a good thing, think again. Somebody somewhere has systematically stereotyped you as an aggressive, impatient, violent, intolerant and irrational being.

Take your time to look at this, where ever else on this forum has anyone been forced to swear before sharing his opinion?

I am a Muslim, a practising one at that. BUT MUSLIMS NEED TO DO BETTER. You can't be living in this 21st century, and your mind and ideology is in 200BC .

Now back to this thread, and this is my personal opinion. I think our lives as Muslims revolve round two books majorly - Al Qur'an and Hadith

Al-qur'an -direct instructions from Allah :Do what he has decreed or be punished.
Hadith : The life and deeds of the prophet (no punishment)

You know.. to me.. ISLAM is the best religion in the world - because, you are told that ignorance is not an excuse. Which invariably means, if anyones tells you something about Islam or anything, be free to ask questions and know more until you are convinced.

QUESTIONS

1. How does tattoo change Allah's creation ? And I need a very logical explanation
2. What is the difference between temporary tattoo and laali ?
3.Can anyone explain this part of the Hadith quoted in this thread "Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “May Allaah curse the " ? Who is he? Is that prophet or someone who just hated tattoo?
4. Where is it stated that the " the prophet says...."?
5. Is there a quantic verse condemning this?


In conclusion, some of the provisions of the Hadith came into being based on realities at the time. There are some one definitely need to ponder on before you join in doing and there are some that are just straight forward. Islam gives us the gift of rational thought process. Let's not abandoned this in the name of righteousness.

My final statement is - Allah a'nlam !!!

I await you responses.

Ma salam
