Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get it done for themselves, and
those who remove hair from their faces, and those who artificially create spaces between their teeth to
look beautiful, such women as alter the features created by Allah. Why should I not then curse those
whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has cursed and that is in Allah's Book?
