Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalaamu ‘alaikum Is it permissible for a woman to wear a tika or mathaputi (forehead jewellery)? Do these have any religious connotations for hindus? JazakAllah khairan.

Answer

(Fatwa: 633/628=M)

Tika (forehead jewellery) is a Hindu custom. Muslim women should refrain from using it.  The Haidth says: من تشبہ بقوم فھو منھم

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
