حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَعَنَ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ مُبْتَغِيَاتٍ لِلْحُسْنِ مُغَيِّرَاتٍ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الأَئِمَّةِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ .

‘Abd Allah reported that the Prophet cursed women who tattoo and those who seek to be tattooed, and women who pluck facial hair seeking beautification and thereby changing Allah’s creation.
He said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Shu‘bah and more than one of the leading scholars also narrated it from Mansur.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic lists those who perform tattooing, those who request it, and those who pluck facial hair for beautification; the source gives the stated rationale as changing Allah’s creation.
