Fatwas about Tattoos

Question:

BISMILLAH
Salam aleikum
I had a discussion with Muslims on facebook. They said there would be fatwas saying that tattoos would be halal if it´s a color or material which is water-permeable cause of the ablution.

I said it has nothing to do with the ablution. I told them it´s if you would say I am not satisfied with the body ALLAH created. ALLAH did not create my body perfect. I want my body to be more perfect and more beautiful than ALLAH created it.

What would you do if you hear a Muslim want to make a tattoo? In which cases and framework conditions are cosmetic operations halal?

Wassalam

Answer:

From this Sahih Hadith we categorically conclude that tattoos can not be Halal:

May Allah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allah.” (Al-Bukhari, al-Libaas, 5587; Muslim, al_Libaas, 5538)
