6 Important Reasons Behind the Prohibition of Tattoos in Islam

In Islam, tattoos or al-wasymu are considered haram and a major sin, based on authentic hadiths that curse both the tattoo artist and the one who asks for it. This prohibition is backed by several sharia-based reasons. First, tattoos permanently alter Allah’s creation, as warned in QS An-Nisa verses 117-119. Second, the process causes permanent impurity because blood mixes with ink. Third, pricking the skin is a form of self-harm without a valid religious reason. Fourth, it violates the trust of taking care of one’s body. Fifth, it poses health risks. Sixth, it goes against the quality of humility. Exceptions are made for emergency situations like medical treatment, based on a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud, or accidental scars that aren't on purpose. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/ternyata-ada-6-alasan-penting-di-balik-haramnya-tato-dalam-islam
