C.J Ahmed-22.04.2023
Bindi is a decoration to beautify the face of especially a girl or woman by placing a dot on the foreheard which comes in various colors and the most famous is red. Wearing a bindi is not haram for a Msulim girl or woman and ltough t is worn mostly by Hindu women for religious or cultural reasons, it is also worn by Sikhs, Jains and Indian Buddhists.
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Abu Dawud-Graded Sahih by Albani)
As long it is with good intentions and not to imitate disbeievers, it is not haram.
Umar bin al-Khattab (rali) narrated that the prophet (sal) said,
"Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended. Whoever migrates with an intention for Allah and His messenger, the migration will be for the sake of Allah and his Messenger. And whoever migrates for worldly gain or to marry a woman, then his migration will be for the sake of whatever he migrated for." (Bukhari and Muslim)
Usamah ibn Zayd reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent us on an expedition. In the morning we attacked Al-Huraqat of Juhaynah. I caught hold of a man and he said, “There is no God but Allah!” I stabbed him anyway. Then, it occurred to me that I should mention that to the Prophet. The Prophet said, “Did he say ‘there is no God but Allah’ but you killed him?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, he only said it because he feared the weapon!” The Prophet said, “Did you tear open his heart to know if he meant it or not?” The Prophet continued repeating it to me until I had wished I had not embraced Islam until that day. (Sahih Muslim)
In countrie like Bangladsh and Inia, women er the bindi for beauty nd cultura reasons and there isnothing wrong in wearing something if the people in that culture do so. The pophet (sal) wore clothes of the people of that area nd it is the intention that matters.
3) Islam is Silent on Women Wearing the Bindi
The argument that Islam forbids Women from wearing the Bindi is totally wrong.Islam is completely silent Bindi and silence is from the mercy of Allah.
The Prophet (sal) said, “Verily Allah has obligated the obligations – so do not neglect them. And He has limited the limits – so do not transgress them. And His silence about things is from His mercy, not forgetfulness, so do not investigate them.”
