Would it be weird to wear an Indian headpiece jewelry?

[Omar del Sur]

I read several Fatwas before posting that comment. It was generally mixed views; some declearing it shirk and others deeming it halal.
I am certain the safe path is to avoid it altogether.

I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”

Hadith 11, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi - Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)

On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abee Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the one much loved by him, who said: I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon

So I’ve been thinking of getting one of this jewelry from the Indian store to wear with my eid outfit. I love headpiece jewelry and I think it would look so good with my dress

but I don’t want to look like a wannabe Indian or culture vulture lol. What do you guys think

It's called maanga tikka and I think i've seen indian muslims or pakistanis wear it too so it's probably safe to assume that it has nothing to do with either kuffur or shirk. It's not like wearing a shirt is imitating the kuffar. Now is it cultural appropriation to wear that? Not necessarily just call it what it is an indian/pakistani piece of jewellery. That being said i for one wouldn't recommend it just to be on the safe side.

I say no don't do it considering you have a big forehead since your a halimo so it would look like birdshit on your forehead .

I thought its root was an extension of the 'bindi', the red dot Hindus wear for religious significance.
