Traditional Tattoos

CaN I CrY

The tattoos are very popular in teenagers.. But there are some ppl that don't tatto for being popular.. they do it for traditionals..

 

They are Kurdish old women and men… they make tattoos with themself.and they say it hurts them.. But again choose doing it.

 

As some ppl know, i am a Kurdish girl too.. i don't have a traditional tattoo.. But I think have one of them on my face or hand…

 

Let's see these ppl!

 

 

''It  will end after 20 years'' is written in that pic..

Becoz Kurdish teenagers don't make them on their body.. Some ppl think these years are end of traditional tattoos..But i don't think same with them :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But muslim Kurdish don't chose it always..Becoz in Islamic rules, to have a tattoo is a sin. And a person can't pray with a tattoo on her/his body.

 

But Expecially Christian, Suryani, Yezidi, Armenian Kurdish make tattoos on their body, expecially hands and face.  they don't open their body.But also they wanna show their tattoos to others..Becoz everyone has a mean. a specila meand or symbol for them.. The face n hands are opened. So tattoos are there!

 

I really have one of them on my face. But i am muslim. So it will be a problem when i pray.. :((( Ughh but maybe these are not sin ! :( Hope so.

 

My grandma is an Armenian Kurdish and  has one of them..But it is not so big like these pics..

 

Heyy..That person is reading this post now. If you are a muslim, plss share ur idea with me? Do u think it is a sin in Islamic rules??

:) Hmm Unfortunally it is sin in Islam..

A person should be so clean when pray.. But tattoos are under ur skin..So u aren't enough clean..So Allah never allow ur prays with a tattoo on ur body..

 

I think it is a bit stupidly.. :P But anway.I am a good muslim :)

having sth under skin should not be thought as dirty..like you,i heard that having tattoos is not ok while praying..but it doesn't make sense to me at all..

do you know the meaning of the tattoos..?maybe i can have one in my hand..:D:D

Hi Can I Cry, I have searched in islamic sites about the accepting of pray if you have a tattoo..and I found that you have to try to remove it but if you can't or you don't have an ability or you affraid harm with removing it you just ask Allah for forgiveness and Allah more marciful than what we think.

"..Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful"Holy Quran 39 (53)

I really wanna have one of them..But not for be popular or something like it.

My wish is not an affectation.. It is really to go on my traditionals..

It is just a culture. :)
