It's the dude in the white 'wife-beater' (sleeveless t-shirt)... on his right arm.

It looks Celtic in design. Well, so much for salvaging the weekend.

It's an impossible call to make just by the tattoo alone. One would be tempted to believe that the man bearing the tattoo couldn't possibly be of Hezbollah because it's forbidden, but sin is something we've all shared in common - and even some of the most die-hard religious followers (we won't mention any names) have fallen victim to this sin. I almost did myself, but I lost the debate with some of the Jewish rabbis concerning the issue.

no, it's different with hizbollah, because they don't trust everyone, they only trust people who are highly religious and sincere and disciplined.

I'm tracking the tattoo design now because, as I said before, it looks Celtic (Irish) in origin. It would help if I had a better graphic to work with, but I'll narrow it down to the best 100 and see what some of the tattoo artists have to say. I'm not trying to make an instant defense here. Just saying Zarqawi did this and I almost did - it seems to be a common sin, and from what I can tell, one that is easily forgiven as well.

Cold (But I'm Still Here) by Evans Blue

Hello, I'm your martyr.
Will you be my gangsta?
Can you feel my trigger hand,
moving further down your back?
When you hide, hide inside that body.
But just remember that when I touch you,
the more you shake, the more you give away.

LOL.....nice band, and great song :D
 
We've been taught at schools that Tattoos are haraam for Muslims.

I've heard that Copts in Egypt have tattoos to differentiate themselves from Muslim Egyptians.

From what I can tell, tattoos began as a form of tribal identification, but the practice was challenged and banned when it was later used as a means to commemorate the dead, among other things.

Okay... Hezbollah is a Shia group. The main Scholar for the Shia's is Ayatollah Sistani. He says tattoos are not haram.

Only when you use the name of Allah or if you tattoo a peace of the Quran (in the formal arabic writing) it is haram because then you must be cleansed at all times, which is impossible.

Oh, thank you for this! I've been collecting the various differences in tradition between Shia and Sunni schools and I didn't know about this one.

I had Al Sistani's office answer to a dispute surrounding Kaab Al Ahbar, they gave a statement identifying their position concerning the dispute... it came with an official seal and everything. But I don't always know what questions to ask until I trip over them like I did just now. Safe to say then, the issue of the tattoo means nothing... except that this dude liked tattoos :thankyou:

Lol.. ya. I always forget my questions, so i write them down and take them to my Sheikh, since he is a representative of Sistani and other scholars.
