Going for Hajj: Does Having Tattoo Disqualify Me?

07 July, 2019
Q What is the ruling about having tattoos on the body? Does it stop a person who has tattoos from performing the duty of Hajj?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

Having tattoo does not prevent a person from performing Hajj.


Answering your question, the Fatwa Center at Islam Q and A, states:

It is forbidden to have tattoos on the body because it was reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed the one who adds hair extensions and the one who has this done, and the one who does tattoos and the one who has this done.

A tattoo may be on the cheek or lip, or elsewhere on the body, where the skin color is changed to blue or green or black, etc.

But having a tattoo does not prevent a person from performing Hajj.

Almighty Allah knows best.
