What is the ruling on using the phrase "هذا شكله غلط" (this looks wrong)?
It is not permissible to say, "This is ugly," for this is a reprehensible phrase that contradicts the Quran and Sunnah. Allah created humankind in the best of forms and honored the children of Adam. The Prophet forbade striking the face because Allah created Adam in His image. In this saying, there is a lack of proper conduct with Allah and an attribution of error to Him, for the created being did not create his own face.
