Summary
The 90th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 1 March 2010, ruled that ink markings for cancer treatment are permissible. This applies to Holbein Drawing Ink, whose contents have been verified as free of impurities. Patients may perform ablution as usual because the ink is placed only beneath the surface of the skin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
