"I heard 'Aishah say: 'The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade the woman who does tattoos and the woman who has that done, the woman who affixes hair extensions and the woman who has that done, An-Namisah (the one who does the plucking) and Al-Mutanammisah (the one who has it done).'"
The Book of Adornment - Sunan an-Nasa'i 5101
This narration from the Mother of the Believers, 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), contains profound wisdom regarding the preservation of natural creation and protection against deception in marital relations.
Prohibition of Tattooing (Al-Washimah)
The prohibition applies to both the tattoo artist and the recipient, as altering Allah's creation constitutes disobedience. Tattooing permanently changes what Allah has fashioned, displaying ingratitude for the natural form bestowed upon us.
Forbiddance of Hair Extensions (Al-Washrah)
This prohibition encompasses both attaching false hair and having it attached. Such practices constitute deception about one's true appearance and represent a form of lying that Islam strictly forbids, particularly in matters leading to marriage.
Plucking Eyebrows (An-Namisah)
The prohibition includes both the plucker and the plucked, as this practice alters Allah's creation unnecessarily. Eyebrow plucking falls under changing Allah's creation without legitimate medical reason, which the Shari'ah condemns.
Divine Wisdom Behind These Prohibitions
These rulings preserve the natural creation of Allah, prevent deception between spouses, maintain modesty, and protect against the curse mentioned in other authentic narrations for those who practice such alterations.
