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
