Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks about the ruling on drawing on the hand with a pen. He asks whether it is considered tattooing?
Answer:
If it washes off with water, it is not considered tattooing. The thing that is prohibited is the permanent drawing on the hand that does not wash off. That is the tattooing that is forbidden, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who tattoos and the one who gets tattooed.
