The issue of facial cuts as a distinguishing mark for each tribe

Question: I hope you will inform us about the issue of facial cuts, which is a mark made with a razor on the face to distinguish each tribe from the others. Is this lawful or forbidden?

Answer: This is called in the language of the Arabs (tattooing). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it and cursed the one who does it. It is authentic from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: . There is no difference between tattooing on the face, on the hand, or elsewhere. As for what has passed due to ignorance, repentance is sufficient for that, and praise be to Allah. If it can be removed without harm, it is obligatory to do so. As for the future, once the Muslim knows the ruling of Allah, it is obligatory for him to be cautious of what Allah has forbidden. This applies to both men and women.
