أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ هُزَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُوتَشِمَةَ وَالْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمَوْصُولَةَ وَآكِلَ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَالْمُحَلِّلَ وَالْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ .
`Abdullah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah cursed the woman who tattoos and the one tattooed, the woman who fixed hair extensions and the one who had her hair get extended, the consumer of Riba and the one who pays it, and Al-Muhallil and Al-Muhallal Lahu.
[1] Al-Muhallil is the man who marries a woman in order to divorce her, so that she can go back to her first husband. Al-Muhallal Lahu is the first husband for whom this is done.Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3416In-book reference : Book 27, Hadith 28English translation : Vol. 4, Book 27, Hadith 3445
Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3416
This Hadith lists several people whom the Messenger of Allah cursed. It includes the woman who tattoos and the one tattooed, the woman who fixes hair extensions and the one who has her hair extended, the consumer of Riba and the one who pays it, and Al-Muhallil and Al-Muhallal Lahu. In the context of divorce, Muhallil refers to the man involved in making a woman lawful again for her former husband, and Muhallal Lahu refers to the one for whom that is done, according to Islamic scholars. The Hadith is serious because it places this act among other grave wrongs named in the same report. The main lesson is that marriage should not be used as a trick to bypass Allah’s limits.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith strongly warns against Al-Muhallil and Al-Muhallal Lahu.
- Marriage should not be treated as a device to bypass divorce limits.
- Riba, tattoos, hair extensions, and planned legalization are all named in this report.
- The wording shows that these actions are serious matters.
