Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Tattooing is prohibited, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah has cursed the woman who lengthens hair and the woman who asks for it to be lengthened, and the woman who tattoos and the woman who asks for a tattoo." The tattooed person must remove it and repent to Allah, unless they fear excessive harm, in which case repentance alone suffices.
