حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

قَالَ لَعَنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ، وَالْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has cursed the lady who lengthens hair artificially and that who gets her hair lengthened in such away, and the lady who practises tattooing and that who gets it done for herself.

ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম পরচুলা ব্যবহারকারী এবং এ পেশাধারী এবং উল্কি অঙ্কনকারী এবং তা গ্রহণকারী নারীদের অভিশাপ দিয়েছেন। [৫৯৩৭]

ہم سے مسدد نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے یحییٰ بن سعید نے بیان کیا، انہیں عبیداللہ نے خبر دی، کہا مجھ کو خبر دی نافع نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے مصنوعی بال لگانے والی اور لگوانے والی اور گودنے والی اور گدوانے والی پر لعنت بھیجی ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari ['Ubaidullah] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu Umar] dia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melaknat orang yang menyambung rambutnya dan yang minta disambung rambutnya serta orang yang mentato dan yang minta ditato

İbn Ömer'den, dedi ki: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem saç ekleyen kadına da, saç ekleten kadına da, döğme yapan kadına da, döğme yaptıran kadına da lanet etmiştir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) invoked the curse, expulsion, and removal from the mercy of Allah Almighty upon four categories: First: A woman who adds hair extensions for herself or for another.

Second: A woman who asks for hair extensions to be added to her hair. Third: The one who tattoos, which involves piercing the skin with a needle in a part of the body, such as the face, hand, or chest, and inserting kohl or similar substances into it until it leaves a bluish or greenish mark, seeking adornment and beauty. Fourth: The one who asks to be tattooed. Such acts are from the major sins.

What it teaches

  • Ibn Hajar said: What is prohibited in this regard is attaching hair to hair. However, if she attaches her hair with something other than hair, such as a piece of cloth or similar material, it does not fall under the prohibition.
  • Cooperation in sin is prohibited.
  • The prohibition of altering the creation of Allah, as it constitutes falsification and deceit.
  • It is permissible to curse whoever is cursed by Allah and His Messenger, but in a general manner.
  • Wearing wigs is included in the prohibited use of hair extensions in our time. It is prohibited considering the imitation of disbelievers and the deceit and fraud involved.
  • Al-Khattābi said: The severe warning regarding these matters was mentioned because they involve deceit and fraud. If any of them were permitted, it would lead to allowing other forms of fraud. Additionally, it involves altering the natural creation, as indicated in the Hadīth of Ibn Mas‘ūd, where he stated: "those who alter the creation of Allah." And Allah knows best.
  • An-Nawawi said: It is prohibited for both the doer and the one for whom it is done. The area that is tattooed becomes impure. If it is possible to remove it through treatment, it becomes obligatory to do so. However, if removal is only possible through cutting, and there is a fear of harm, impairment of a limb or its function, or causing severe damage to a visible part of the body, removal is not obligatory. If the person repents, there is no longer any sin upon him. If none of these risks are feared, it becomes obligatory to remove it, and delaying its removal is sinful. End quote.
