5102. It was narrated that ‘Abdullāh said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ cursed the women who do tattoos and the women who have them done, Al-Mutanammiṣāt, and the women who have their teeth separated[2] for the sake of beauty, those who change (the creation of Allāh.)” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5099 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَاشِمَاتِ، وَالْمُوتَشِمَاتِ، وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ، وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ»

Commentary

1. ‘Nāmiṣah’ means plucking the hair’: Clarification concerning it has preceded earlier in Hadīth 5094. It should, however, be kept in mind that those hair which the Divine law has commanded to remove are exempted from this. Moreover, as women are forbidden to pluck out hairs other than those quoted above, in the same manner, men also may not pluck out hairs for the reason of beautification or for cosmetic reasons.
