Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, this questioner is Egyptian and resides in Riyadh. Does the mark or spot on a man's forehead indicate his righteousness and uprightness?

Answer:
No, it does not.
Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostrationسِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ
[Al-Fath 48:29]
This mark on the forehead resulting from a person's prostration on the ground, where he humbles himself before Allah (Mighty and Majestic), prostrates before Him, calls upon Him, and seeks His forgiveness, is a relationship between the servant and his Lord, in which he worships Him, calls upon Him, thanks Him, praises Him, and seeks His forgiveness. This is a favor from Allah upon this person. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
