Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 136
Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those women who have themselves tattooed, and those women who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces (except the beard and the mustache), and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth for beauty, whereby they change Allah’s creation. A woman started to argue with him, saying: “What is all this?” He replied: “Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed and who are cursed in Allah’s Book? Allah, the Exalted, has said in His Book:”And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it).” (59:7).
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: لعن الله الواشمات والمستوشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات بالحسن، المغيرات خلق الله! فقالت له امرأة في ذلك فقال: وما لي لا ألعن من لعنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو في كتاب الله؟! قال الله تعالى: {وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا} ((الحشر:7)).((متفق عليه)). المتفلجة هي: التي تبرد من أسنانها ليتباعد بعضها من بعض قليلا، وتحسنها وهو الوشر. والنامصة: التي تأخذ من شعر حاجب غيرها، وترققه ليصير حسنا. والمتنمصة: التي تأمر من يفعل بها ذلك.
