Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet ﷺ has cursed? And that is in Allah's Book. i.e. His Saying: 'And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).' (59.7)

لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَالِي لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ}

ʿAbdullah cursed those women who practiced tattooing and those who removed hair from their faces and those who created spaces between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, such ladies as changed what Allah has created. Um Ya'qub said, "What is that?" ʿAbdullah said, "Why should I not curse those who were cursed by Messenger of Allah ﷺ and are referred to in Allah's Book?" She said to him "By Allah, I have read the whole Qur'an but I have not found such a thing. ʿAbdullah said, "By Allah, if you had read it (carefully) you would have found it. (Allah says:) 'And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).' (59.7)

لَعَنَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ مَا هَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَمَا لِيَ لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَفِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا}

Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing or get it done for themselves, and those who remove hair from their faces, and those who create spaces between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, such ladies as change the features created by Allah. Why then shall I not curse those whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ has cursed and who are cursed in Allah's Book too?

لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ

Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get it done for themselves, and those who remove hair from their faces, and those who artificially create spaces between their teeth to look beautiful, such women as alter the features created by Allah. Why should I not then curse those whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ has cursed and that is in Allah's Book?

لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] cursed the women who do tattoos and the women who have them done, Al-Mutanammisat, and the women who have their teeth separated for the sake of beauty, those who change (the creation of Allah.)"

لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُوتَشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ

[AI] "May Allah curse the women who get tattoos, those who get themselves tattooed, those who pluck their eyebrows, and those who widen gaps between their teeth for beauty. This reached a woman from the tribe of Banu Asad, known as Umm Ya'qub, and she came to him and said, 'I have read what is between the two tablets and I found what you said.' He said, 'So you found: "Whatever the Messenger has given you, take it, and whatever he has forbidden you, abstain from it" [Al-Hashr: 7].' She said, 'Indeed, I see it among some of my people.' He said, 'Go and look.' She went and looked, then returned and said, 'I did not see anything.' Abdullah said, 'If she had something, we would have gathered her.'"

لَعَنَ اللهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَوَشِّمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِمَا وَجَدْتُ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ مَا وَجَدْتِ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر 7] فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي لَأُرَاهُ فِي بَعْضِ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي قَالَ فَذَهَبَتْ فَنَظَرَتْ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ كَانَ لَهَا مَا جَامَعْنَاهَا

[AI] "May Allah curse the tattooed women, the pluckers (of eyebrows), the mutilators, and those who modify the creation of Allah. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Will I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah has cursed?' A woman from the tribe of Bani Asad said, 'I think he is among my relatives.' He said to her, 'Go and look.' So she went and looked, and she did not see anything in them or in him (indicating her relatives). She said, 'I did not see anything in them or in him in the Qur'an.' He said, 'Indeed, I said it: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it.'"

لَعَنَ اللهُ الْمُتَوَشِّمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ وَالْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ فِي أَهْلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي فَذَهَبَتْ فَنَظَرَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِيهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah cursed, so a woman from the Banu Asad said to him, 'I think he is cursing your family.' He said, 'Go and look.' So she went and then came back and said, 'I did not see anything in them (i.e., his family), and I did not see him (i.e., the curse) in the Quran.' Abdullah said to her, 'Indeed, yes, the Messenger of Allah said that.'"

«لُعِنَ الْمُتَنَمِّصَاتُ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتُ وَالْمُتَوَشِّمَاتُ» أَلَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ أَظُنُّهُ فِي أَهْلِكَ قَالَ «اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي» فَذَهَبَتْ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِيهِنَّ شَيْئًا وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ فَقَالَ لَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ «بَلَى قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] cursed the women who do tattoos and the women who have them done, Al-Mutanammisat, and the women who have their teeth separated for the sake of beauty, those who change (the creation of Allah.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5099)

لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْتَشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ

"I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] cursing Al-Mutanammisat, women who have their teeth separated, and women who have tattoos done, those who change the creation of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5107)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَعَنَ اللهُ الْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ وَالْمُتَوَشِّمَاتِ اللَّائِي يُغَيِّرْنَ خَلْقَ اللهِ»

ʿAbdullah (bin Masud) said. "Allah curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's creation." His saying reached a lady from Bani Asd called Um Yaqub who came (to ʿAbdullah) and said, "I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?" He replied, "Why should I not curse these whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allah's Book!" Um Yaqub said, "I have read the whole Qur'an, but I did not find in it what you say." He said, "Verily, if you have read it (i.e. the Qur'an), you have found it. Didn't you read: 'And whatsoever the Apostle gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you, you abstain (from it). (59.7) She replied, "Yes, I did," He said, "Verily, Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade such things." "She said, "But I see your wife doing these things?" He said, "Go and watch her." She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, "If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4886)

«لَعَنَ اللهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمَوْشُومَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ» فَبَلَغَتِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ لَعَنْتَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ؟ قَالَ «أَلَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ» قَالَتْ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيِ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ؟ قَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ أَمَا وَجَدْتِ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر 7]؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَهْلَكَ يَفْعَلُونَ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلِي فَانْظُرِي» فَدَخَلَتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَالَ «لَوْ فَعَلَتْهُ لَمْ تُجَامِعْنَا»

[AI] The translation of the passage is: "May God curse those who tattoo and those who seek tattoos, those who pluck eyebrows, and those who create gaps between their teeth for beauty, altering the creation of God."

"لَعَنَ اللهُ الوَاشِمَاتِ والْمُسْتَوشِمَاتِ والمُتنَمِّصَاتِ، وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ للحُسْن، الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلقَ الله".
