Question
I am doing a project for school and I could you some help. Is the "red dot" on some women's foreheads related to Islam and if so how?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah.The red dot, which some women place on their foreheads specially in India, has
nothing to do with Islam. It is an Indian custom, we were told, Hundos women ware the
red dot to imply being married. We were also told that other peoples of India do imitate
the Hundos.
We ask Allaah to show the righteous path.
