Cosmetic Surgery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 5408 )
Q: What is the ruling in Islam regarding cosmetic surgeries ? There is a young man in the early stages of his life who wants to correct a defect in his face. This defect causes him to be very withdrawn and makes him shy away from marriage. If he undergoes surgery to correct his nose somewhat, his psychological state will improve, he will be able to face society without being withdrawn, he will be able to engage in calling people to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with a better mindset, and he will hasten to get married, if Allah wills. Is performing surgery to reduce the size of the nose from its natural size considered forbidden or permissible, taking into account the psychological condition described above?
A: If the situation is as described and there is no fear of harm from performing the cosmetic surgery, then it is permissible for him to undergo it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
