I remember asking that same question, but I don't remember who told me and they didn't tell why it was haram, I remember it was because your not allowed to have like part of your head shaven and part not, like marine style (sides shaven and top not) is haram and I think the mohawk would be in the same category as marine style hair cut. That is all I know and not very liable source, best ask a sheikh. Also as long as it doesn't offend people and your not a muslim do it.

007...read wht u wrote and wht u saying "it is nt halal"...if u read it like u suppose to, it means u r say it is not allowed...

Hence I say if I say something in arabic or french for tht matter and I pronounce it incorrectly or don't put my punctuations in, it means something completely different.

Hence I ask for clarity

In some Arabic/Persian cultures it is considered 'haram' because it is a 'Westernized influence' and is also against their secular laws (laws made by men) as 'extreme appearances'. Biggest example is Iraq, where they regularly kill barbers and stylists for making their youth look like Euro stars or American military styles. Tattoos are also considered 'bad influence', and usually in the Middle East indicate a former criminal who served prison time (prison tats). It is one reason a fully tattoo-sleeved European or Aussie gets widely walked around by many ethnic Arabs here in Doha (because of the meaning of danger in their countries).

Strangest thing is that it doesn't mean as much to the local Qatari as it does to the others, and you will see MANY youth as well as younger males sporting 3-8 inch Mohawks while cruising the malls. But a Westerner doing it gets rude looks. Go figure. =)

Can't see anything wrong with it. If you feel comfortable, then go for it.
