Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Umm Mahdi says that she got a tattoo while in a state where she did not know that it was forbidden. This tattoo is on her hand, and she had it done about forty years ago. Now she says, “I am repentant to Allah. What should I do? Should I remove it with a laser, or what should I do?”
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. If Allah wills, the repentance is accepted. As for the effect of the tattoo, if she is able to remove it, it is obligatory for her to do so. If she is not able to remove it, then repentance is sufficient, praise be to Allah. Yes.
