The majority of the people nowadays in the western world has tattoos on their bodies, we discussed my friend and I yesterday why Islam prohibited tattoos, his obvious answer was because it cause cancer, I said no I don’t think so because I saw people having them since they were 18 or 20 and now they are old but have nothing it must be something else and that’s what drove my curiosity to look for this matter.
Let’s first dive into the history of tattooing and how it was invented; back to 1963 a set of four small tattooing equipment were discovered in an island called Tongatapu, and scientists determined that the equipment found go back to 2700 years old but, the real time tattooing invented is not known.
What concern us why tattoos were prohibited by ISLAM and what are the disadvantages of tattooing on the human body?
From my research online and some people I discussed the subject with I found out that tattoos could cause allergic reaction of the skin especially when it is exposed to the sun in particular those tattoos that contain yellow and red ink, and sometimes small bumps that can appear on the skin because of the tattoo needle and ink.
Regarding Islam’s point of view toward tattooing is very clear in prohibiting it, Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those women who have themselves tattooed, and those women who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth for beauty, whereby they change Allah's creation.
Allah said in his holy book Quran : And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns – it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler – so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you – take; and what he has forbidden you – refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. (AL HASHR -7)
غالبية الناس في الوقت الحاضر في العالم الغربي لديهم أ وشام على أجسامهم ، ناقشت مع صديقي أمس لماذا حرم الإسلام الوشم ، كانت إجابته الواضحة هي أنه يسبب السرطان ، قلت لا لا أعتقد ذلك لأنني رأيت أشخاصا لديهم أوشام منذ عمر 18 أو 20 عامًا وأصبحوا الآن كبار السن ولكن ليس لديهم شيء يجب أن يكون شيئًا آخر وهذا ما دفع فضولي للبحث عن هذا الأمر.
دعنا أولاً نستكشف تاريخ الوشم وكيف تم اختراعه .مجموعة من الأدوات تعود إلى عام 1963 مكونة من أربعة معدات وشم صغيرة ثم إكتشافها في جزيرة تدعى Tongatapu ، وقد قرر العلماء أن المعدات التي عثر عليها تعود إلى 2700 عام ، ولكن الزمن الحقيقي الذي إخترع فيه الوشم غير معروف بالظبط .
ما يهمنا هو لماذا حرم الإسلام الوشم وما هي سلبياته على الجسم ؟
من خلال بحثي على الإنترنت وبعض الأشخاص الذين ناقشتهم الموضوع ، اكتشفت أن الوشم قد يتسبب في حساسية للجلد كرد فعل خصوصا عند تعرضه لأشعة الشمس وبالخصوص الحبر الأحمر و الأصفر ، وأحيانا بتور صغيرة يمكن أن تظهر على الجلد بسبب إبرة الوشم والحبر.
أما فيما يتعلق بوجهة نظر الإسلام تجاه الوشم ، فإن الأمر واضح للغاية في حظره ، عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: لعن الله الواشمات والمستوشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات بالحسن، المغيرات خلق الله.
قال الله في كتابه العزيز” مَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنْكُمْ ۚ وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ “ سورة الحشر الآية 7.
