Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Tattooing is a form of tattooing (body art), and tattooing is forbidden in Islamic law. The one who does it must repent to God. If the disfigurement caused to the eyebrows reaches the extent of blemish, then it is permissible to remove it through hair transplantation. However, if it is merely for increasing beauty, then it is not permissible to alter it."
