Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I previously had a tattoo in a place on my body, and I was unaware of the ruling. Am I included among those whom Allah has cursed?
Answer:
Yes. Tattooing is not permissible, but if you are able to remove it, you must remove it. Go to a doctor if there is a treatment that removes it; it is obligatory for you to do so. If there is no treatment, seek forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance. May Allah forgive us and you. Yes.
