Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman has scars from a surgical operation on her abdomen, and she wants to remove these scars through a treatment available from a doctor, which is a technology that he says resembles tattooing, and it is repeated every two years. Is this treatment permissible?
Answer:
Tattooing and what resembles it is not permissible, for Allah has cursed the one who tattoos and the one who gets tattooed. If there is a medical treatment other than tattooing or what resembles it, there is nothing wrong with it.
