Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ هُزَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُوتَشِمَةَ وَالْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمَوْصُولَةَ وَآكِلَ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَالْمُحَلِّلَ وَالْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr bin Mansur narrated to us; Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Abu Qays, from Hudhayl, from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah cursed the woman who tattoos, the woman who seeks to be tattooed, the woman who adds hair extensions and the woman whose hair is extended, the one who consumes usury and the one who pays it, the muhallil, and the one for whose sake he does it.

Translation notes
  • Muhallil and muhallal lahu are technical terms for the man in an intervening marriage intended to make a woman lawful again for a previous husband, and that previous husband, respectively; the Arabic terms are retained.
