    Islam Question and Answer - Are Tattoos Haram in Islam
    "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).

    So if what is referred to in the question is that which is not permanent, then it is not a tattoo as such and does not change the creation of Allaah"
    ------------------------

    If someone has a tattoo which was done before he reverted to Islam, then it is not necessary to spend a lot of money and have it removed.

    If it were that your wudhu would not be accepted by Allaah when you have a tattoe, it`s saying that your prayers are not accepted, so what do you think? I think it`s an innovation from shaitaan that people say, and that saying of theirs is not accepted, and they have upon them the sins of all who have abandoned salaah because of it. And Allaah knows best. As these people to bring their evidence that Allaahs Messenger -sAaws- has authirized for such words.

    Allways ask them their evidence. It`s not upon you to accept anything concerning The Religion and worship and your faith in Allaah -ta`aalaa- except what has been established from His Messenger -sAaws. And it`s not your duty to have such doubts and investigate, but it`s their duty to produce their evidence. And it is Haraam to take tattoes, as Firmbeliever already established.

    Wa àleikumus-Salaam wa RaHmatullaah.
