Why is it mandatory to have an ablution and clean your body before undertaking an Islamic act?
The answer is that it is commanded by Allah SWT to make our body and soul clean to indulge in the act comprising remembrance of Allah and this should be dominant over every other act. Performing Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and the same condition is required to accomplish this task. We have to be in a state in which any kind of impurity is impermissible.
Now a-days it can be said as a trend to draw tattoos on different body parts that are emphatically prohibited in Islam. Before the major subject, let you think first about why women are forbidden to offer Salah if they are wearing make-up or if their nails are painted? It’s because of the substance layer that covers your body and the ablution water doesn’t reach your body directly due to which your body still remains unclean and none of your worship will be accepted. Same is the case with tattoos. Tattoos are an extra covering over your body due to which your body can’t come in a state to be called as clean. In spite of this, we are not permitted to enact an amendment in our body as we are sent by Allah Almighty and have to return to Him. By making tattoos our body contain something additional. Another aspect is the agony through which the person suffers while making tattoos.
Sheikh Yousaf Al-Qaradawi, a Muslim scholar states:
“Islam condemns immoderations in beautifying oneself when it alters the physical features that Allah made him with.”
According to some scholars tattooing is not prohibited if the tattoos are temporary like using Hina (a thick brown paste used by Muslim women to beautify their hands and often by men on their beard) but permanent tattoos are prohibited.
Holy Prophet SAWW, the Messenger of Allah SWT was sent to the world to spread the message of Islam and to tell about the forbidden acts. He SAWW cursed those who made tattoos. Hazrat Abu Juhayfah RA narrated:
“Holy Prophet SAWW cursed the one who does tattoos and the one has a tattoo done”
Tattoos are also prohibited regarding biological security. Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a Canadian scholar states because tattooing is the source to cause AIDS, hepatitis and other ailments.
Though it’s generally a prohibited act but now the question arises for hajjis that can they perform Hajj with tattoos? So radically if they can, then they should remove this before reaching the Holy Kabahbut as it is so costly as well as agonic and if the Hajjis cannot remove this then they can perform Hajj but they are conditioned to seek forgiveness with pure intentions and make true repentance. Their worship act will be accepted but they should make arrangements to remove this as soon as possible.
