Question : A woman has tattooing on her face, and she is now ill and unable to move. What should she do? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer : She owes nothing, because this tattooing is done by the guardians of children on their children before they reach puberty, and there is no blame on them. However, if a person has a tattoo and is able to remove it without disfigurement, let him remove it. If he cannot remove it except by causing disfigurement, such as the scars from a surgical operation, then it is not obligatory for him. But if it happens that he can hide it as much as possible, that is better, such as if we assume it is on the back of the hand and a person can hide it by wearing gloves when in front of people; this is better so that people do not think that tattooing is permissible, whereas tattooing is among the major sins.
