Scalp micro pigmentation
Question
There is a treatment called scalp micro pigmentation. It is like drawing a tattoo on the scalp to give an illusion like the head is full of hair. I have bald patches and this treatment seems very safe. Is it allowed in Islam?
Answer
It is not permissible to tattoo. The Hadith has cursed those who get involved in this major sin.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
