Explaining a form of cooperation in sin in the hadith: "May Allah curse the one who tattoos and the one who gets tattooed..."

The Shaykh : I intended to conclude the answer with this, but then a hadith came to mind that I would have preferred not to elaborate on, were it not for the fact that I know most Muslims are also unaware of the connection between this hadith and the preceding verse . This is from one perspective. Furthermore, they contradict it in themselves or in their family members. I mean by this his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) . As for the women who pluck their eyebrows, let us say it in the Syrian expression: the ones who are plucked. That is, a woman plucks, for example, her eyebrows, but she cannot pluck her eyebrows to the extent of being plucked; it is the one who plucks her eyebrows. What is she doing? If it were not for her, she would not be the plucked one. So look, see how this example completes, or is part of, the many examples that explain , . That is, the adornments. Let us just say this word: the women who pluck and the women who get plucked, meaning the customer. . Tattooing is well known, especially among some peasants. You find not only women but also men. You find this creature, which is in the form of a human, drawing on his veins and on his skin, which Allah has perfected in creation, making him a sound human being, in the image of a lion and carrying a sword. With what? With tattooing. This is from what the tattooer has drawn. So he is the one who gets tattooed, meaning the one who seeks tattooing from another. If there were no tattooer, there would be no one who gets tattooed. So look at how the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wants to make the Muslim community a community that cooperates in what is right and abstains from what is wrong. . We have not seen this, and we hope we will not see it, but we are seeing what is worse than it. Apparently, in the past, Satan beautified for some women the changing of Allah's good and beautiful creation. As you know, Allah the Exalted created in the mouth of every person teeth like well-arranged pearls. But they are not pleased with Allah's creation, so they go to the tooth file. The tooth file means the one who files. She takes a fine file and widens the space between the teeth so that it pleases her for the tooth to appear far from the sides of the surrounding teeth... She is pleased for her canine to appear like the canine of a dog, for example. This is better for her than having her teeth as Allah the Exalted created them. This is the filing, and those are the filers and the ones who get their teeth filed. Why was it condemned for these two groups? The reality of the condemned matter and the one who places the condemned matter upon them, because they cooperated in the wrong specifically in these characteristics mentioned here. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said at the end of the hadith: . The truth, my brothers, if the Muslim community were to proceed with this verse alone, , we would be as our forefathers were, living in honor and glory, with enemies fearing them for a month's journey. But unfortunately, they have now become cooperators in wrong. What do we say today? The barber who lives by shaving the beards of men is cooperating in wrong. They do not realize at all that they are cooperating in wrong. What about the one who sells tight clothing to women? What do they call it?

The questioner : Trousers.

The Shaykh : No, no... You named the work... The tailor, the one who says... These people have more of their wealth forbidden because they assist in wrong. And so Allah guided our brother here, and he repented from selling tailoring, praise be to Allah. This is all an explanation of . And from cooperation in sin and aggression is being an employee, not only in the bank, but even as a barber, or a tailor, or... and so on. So beware, for what is with Allah is not attained through the forbidden. Change it. And what is there? You have taken your share. We gave you what you have, and what is there? Please.
