According to the Islamic Medicine Academy, natural non-permanent (such as henna) tattoos are permitted in Islam while permanent or semi-permanent tattoos are forbidden and Mohammed encouraged females to use color on their hands (by using natural medium such as henna) while males can only use henna on their hair.
Summary of answer. Tattoos are haram in all forms, whether they cause pain or not. Tattooing involves changing the creation of Allah. Prophet Muhammad cursed the one who does tattoos and the one for whom that is done.
The Biblical rule against tattoos only applies to Jews and legalists (people who follow Mosaic law). As Orthodox Christians are neither Jews nor legalists, you should be free to get a tattoo.
Having a tattoo does not invalidate the ability to perform prayers for Muslims. The Quran does not explicitly prohibit tattoos, but many scholars discourage tattoos. Their view is that it permanently alters your body.
The Quran does not mention tattoos, so there is no evidence to declare them haram. Tattoos do not affect wudu as they are beneath the skin and do not block water. Declaring something haram requires clear evidence from the Quran, which is not found in this case.
Imam al Nafrawi al Maliki stated “If someone has a forbidden tattoo, he is not obliged to remove it with fire and it is rather a forgiven impurity and prayers are valid with having it” and fasting is deemed valid as well because it has nothing to do with having the tattoo on.
So, ear piercings are considered permissible since there isn't any evidence of prohibiting them. In fact, there's no specific prohibition regarding the number of ear piercings a woman may have. Therefore, Muslim women can pierce their ears multiple times if they choose to do so.
Dogs are permissible as watchdogs or for other utilitarian purposes but not simply for companionship. Abou El Fadl says this zealous adherence to doctrine led one religious authority to advise a Muslim that his pet dog was evil and should be driven away by cutting off its food and water.
Muslim scholars deem them Halal as they do not inhibit water from reaching your body. And you can use artificial nails in between your namaz timing. Hence, the bottom line is that it's everyone's personal choice. If you want to do it, do it by all means.
Alcohol use is forbidden in many religions, including Judaism and Islam. Alcohol use in Muslim communities is below the global average, yet reports show that unrecorded consumption is high [1]. In recent years, there has been increasing attention on alcohol-related harms in Muslim communities [2].
Yes, you can convert if you have tattoos. Some people may judge, but they are not warranted in doing so, and tbh the vast majority of Muslims will just assume “oh, they're a convert” and be happy you found Islam. You can't change what happened in your past and all of your sins are forgiven when you convert.
So is Getting a Tattoo a Sin? It depends. Revisiting 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 is a great reminder when considering a tattoo: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Most Muslims consider permanent tattoos haram (forbidden) due to hadith stating that tattooing is a form of body mutilation, pain, deception, and imitation of non-believers. Still, some Islamic scholars allow non-permanent body modifications, such as ear piercings, temporary tattoos, and medical procedures.
The Quran doesn't prohibit tattoos, but it does prohibit unnecessary body alterations. The scripture in question, an-Nisa 4:119, reads, "I will certainly mislead them and delude them with empty hopes.
According to the Irish Times, "a majority of Muslims" follow the view taken by modern scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi that music is forbidden "only if it leads the believer into activities that are clearly defined as prohibited, such as drinking alcohol and illicit sex".
There is a general consensus among Sunni and Shia fiqh experts that Surah Al-Baqarah 221 and Surat Al‑Mumtahanah 10 ban Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men. This consensus is still standing strong. On the other hand, the Quran allows Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women (“People of the Book”).
In Abrahamic religions, eating pig flesh is clearly forbidden by Jewish (kashrut), Islamic (haram) and Christian Adventist (kosher animals) dietary laws. The pig is considered an unclean animal as food in Judaism and Islam, and parts of Christianity.
According to Islamic teachings, Wudu is a prerequisite for performing prayers, and the absence of a valid Wudu renders the prayer invalid. Therefore, if fake nails prevent water from reaching the natural nails during Wudu, both the ablution and the subsequent prayer are invalid.
In principle it is permissible for women to use cosmetics, but when saying it is permissible it is essential to pay attention to a number of things, such as: 1- This beautification should not be for non-mahram men. The one for whom a Muslim woman should beautify herself first and foremost is her husband.
Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali Schools
Shafi'i and Hanbali: Similar to Maliki, these schools permit all creatures from the sea, including shrimp, as they are considered part of the broad category of Halal seafood.
Muslims are not allowed to wear gold ornaments, as it is forbidden in Islam. The prohibition is based on a hadith that says that the Prophet Muhammad cursed women who wear such jewelry and men who help them do so. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
Yes, It is permissible for a woman to dye her hair any colour other than black, so long as that is not imitating kaafir women, such as if kaafir women or some kaafir women have a special way of dyeing or cutting their hair, and that is exclusive to them; it is not permissible to imitate them in that case.
The Qur'an promotes reconciliation, through negotiated settlements between the spouses themselves or the use of arbitrators from their families. However, when “mutual good treatment” is not possible, there should be an amicable parting. Thus, the Qur'an treats divorce as something permitted but not laudable.
According to the statement of Imam Ibn-e Abideen (R.A), nose-piercing would be permissible just as ear-piercing is permissible if it is performed for the purpose of beauty and ornament in some place.
