Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There are people who have sagging skin due to their advanced age, so they undergo surgical procedures to tighten the skin, making them look as if they are young. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
It appears that if one eats too much, he should reduce his food intake, and, if Allah wills, he will lose weight. He should reduce his food intake and walk; he should not sit, ride, or sleep, but rather walk a lot. If he walks more and eats less, it will go away, by the permission of Allah. This is better than tightening the nerves, or whatever they call the treatment; it is easier than that. Yes.
