Lamine Yamal Religion, Bio, Records & Awards

During a live interview on El Hormiguero on September 12, 2024, Lamine Yamal was asked about tattoos.

His response was firm: “Tattoos? Never.”

He reinforced this in a Tribuna report on November 14, 2024, stating, “Getting tattoos when I turn 18? No, no, there will be no tattoos.”

Now the real question is…

Why is he against the idea of having tattoos?

The answer is simple…Islamic religion.

WHAT IS LAMINE YAMAL’S RELIGION?

Lamine Yamal‘s religion is Islam.

Born in 2007 in Spain to a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother, Lamine was raised by his grandmother (She’s Moroccan as well) from his dad’s side, which means he grew up in a household where Islamic values were likely a core part of his upbringing.

Yamal‘s Muslim faith is deeply tied to his cultural and family background.

Going back to the topic of tattoos…in Islam, tattoos are often considered impermissible as they alter the body, which is seen as a creation of God.

His commitment to avoiding alcohol, another principle rooted in his religion, further underscores his disciplined approach.
