Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. From the Al-Jawf region, a message signed by one of the sisters, Umm Ahmad, asks and says: It was mentioned in a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he cursed the one who performs tattooing and the one who gets tattooed. Does this curse include one who did not know it was forbidden, meaning due to her ignorance?
Answer:
One who did not know it was forbidden is excused due to her ignorance. However, she must remove this tattoo if it can be removed by any available method, for that is obligatory. If it cannot be removed, it remains, and there is no sin on her because she was ignorant when she got it. Yes.
