Henna Designs: Is This Permitted In Islam? by Ironfaceman(op): 11:32am On Jul 31
When I go to Karimo market I see many moslim women and young girls adorn their hands and fingers with this art works.

It's not tattoo though but it very prevalent among Fulani and hausa girls.

I want to know whether Islam agrees with it and what do those weird design mean.

It is normal among the Hausa people….it has nothing to do with Islam if you understand what I mean.

It's Henna design, and a harmless beautification art. So it's permitted.

Hand art.
Just love it.
Better than tattoos that remain literally forever.
This is barely 'skin deep' and just plain art.
No messages, connotations, vulgarity or innuendos.

Educate yourself. It is not a Hausa thing.

It is a beautification that is encouraged in Islam and you will find it among Muslim women all over the world

This is not permitted, but sleeping with 9 years old girls is permitted.

This is not permitted, but asking a grapes girl to provide 4 male witnesses before she can get justice is permitted!

Islam is an awkwward, absiurd, and highly babbariic religion.
You people just make things up as you go

Your hypocrisy stinks.

* How old was Rebeka and her husband in the Bible?
* If a man rapes a girl in the Bible, he is only to provide 50 shekels and marry her for life

There is no confusion anywhere. I specifically mentioned Islam.

. It's also called lele and it's only used to enhance a ladies beauty. Even some Christians use it, Muslims mostly use it cos it affects there process of ablution when they wanna pray, nail polish prevents there fingers not to b properly washed before prayers.

It is a cultural tradition found among other cultures and it is allowed in Islam for ladies

Since killing is not haram in Islam I don't think if this is haram
You must be talking about Christian mass murderers like Donald trump, Adolph Hitler etc

since killing and slaughter is not a sin in Islam then why this
Maybe you should read about jim Jones, or let's even come closer to home, Rev king. That's just 2 of many many.

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

Warped sense of religion is not a question like many scholars agree already.
