Arabic text

1987 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «أَنَّهُ لَعَنَ الْوَاصِلَةَ، وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ، وَالْوَاشِمَةَ، وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ»

Commentary

a. The woman is recommended to adorn herself for the pleasure of her husband; but must be careful about what is lawful and unlawful. b. If a woman has less hair, she should not add artificial hair to show more; and also the men should avoid wearing a wig to hide baldness. For this purpose one may wear a cap, hat or turban etc. c. As for the art of making tattoos on the body; the print of tattoos remain permanent on the body and do not get deleted; the Arab women used to practise this fashion; but having tattoos and making tattoos are prevented alike.
