Can I get a Tatoo?

Why are tatoos illegal in Islam,? Why?!?!

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

they are not illegal. Dont listen to the mullahs, get yourself a tattoo post a pic too.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

dont pass fatwas with out knowledge. if you want to do sin it is fine but dont justify it.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

^^ Show me the Quran verse where it says it is ilegal. Dont bother reciting a hadith like a parrot. Go fetch.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Get one of those temorary ones, this way you don't have to get stuck on 1 for life :)

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

they are very useful beasts of burden.. a little stubborn but nevertheless very dutiful.. i don't know why they should be illegal..

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

i dont think there is any muslim scholar (specialized in Islamic studies) who thinks that having a tattoo is legal....
they r forbidden in all schools of Islamic thought....

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Wrong. Ayatollah Sistani allows tattoos.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Ok so lets see if a man gets a tattoo with "La Ilaha Ill....." First Kalima. Why would that be illegal. You know its not as if the guy asked the blind cleric for money.

Yes it would be illegal because:

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).

and why would you believe and follow this statement of the Prophet? because of the following Ayaahs of the Quran.

**He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed . [An-Nisaa 4:80] **

In the Messenger of Allah is a good example for you to follow. [Al-Ahzab 33:21]

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

This is what I dont understand, now why the frig would god worry about painted hands or painted toenails, or a woman that plucks her eyebrows. God should give it a rest. Have a beer on me.

^^ Key words: "I dont understand"

thats a weakness on your part, more than anything else. Go figure.

:k:

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Chalo as long as you understand why God would like women to be ugly as hairy animals. Good for you. I like mine clean, petite and beautiful with painted toe nails and thin eye lashes, if they have a glow in the dark tattoo edited even better. Who needs the instruction manual at night after a few beeers.

So back to the tatoo. I say get one.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

No one's stopping you Gavrilo. Go do what you want...you can go jump off a cliff, for all i care.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

that “manual” is for those who care about what God says, if you don’t care about it then do as you desire edited

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Is the issue to do with beautification or penetration of the skin?...
As in where would an airbrushed tattoo stand in this argument?...

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

as long as its temporary, its fine.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

And when nature calls ofcourse you would go to the bathroom/washroom not your bedroom or so thus it will not be good to have “La Ilaha” on your body when answering nature call.

Re: Can I get a Tatoo?

Im not sure whether to get one or not but really would like one.. Think I will leave it up to my significant other to help me decide.. Still, Islamically speaking, its only bad if it permanant.. But suppose I promise to have it surgically removed eventually, would that be ok then?
