English translation

5108. It was narrated that from 'Aṭā' bin As-Sā'ib, from Ash-Sha'bī who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ cursed the one who consumes Ribā, the one who pays it, the one who witnesses it and the one who writes it down; the woman who does tattoos and the woman who has that done; and he forbade wailing (in mourning), but he did not say that its doer is cursed." (Hasan)

Arabic text

5105 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: «لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آكِلَ الرِّبَا، وَمُوكِلَهُ، وَشَاهِدَهُ، وَكَاتِبَهُ، وَالْوَاشِمَةَ، وَالْمُوتَشِمَةَ، وَنَهَى عَنِ النَّوْحِ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَعَنَ صَاحِبَ»

Commentary

'The woman who tattoos': This work is unlawful, whether a woman does it or a man. Since women used to generally practise it, feminine gender was employed.
