Are tattoos allowed in Islam, especially Shia muslims?
That's interesting. Are there any exceptions or circumstances under which tattoos might be allowed?
Some scholars have said that tattoos are permissible if they are for medical reasons, such as tattooing the skin for radiation therapy. Other scholars have said that tattoos are only allowed in cases of necessity, such as if a person has a tattoo from before they became Muslim and wants to cover it up for fear of social repercussions.
