What is the ruling on microblading eyebrows?
Microblading is a type of tattoo that lasts for about two years. It involves using a fine blade to draw the eyebrow and inject it with a chemical substance. It differs from a permanent tattoo that can only be removed by laser. Its ruling is (forbidden) because it involves implanting color under the skin, which is considered altering Allah's creation, and falls under the forbidden tattooing for which the one who performs it is cursed. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "and I will surely command them to alter the creation of Allah," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Allah has cursed the women who practice tattooing and those who have themselves tattooed, and the women who remove hair from their faces, and the women who make artificial spaces between their teeth, for the sake of beauty, changing the creation of Allah." Tattooing is not permissible except to remove a disease.
