Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman who wishes to reduce her weight to undergo a procedure, given that she has tried all means without success? Is it permissible for a woman to undergo a procedure to reduce her weight?
Answer:
Now, if the procedure reduces the weight and does not harm her, there is no harm in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani). Seeking medical treatment is required, Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam). What he knew was from his knowledge, and what he did not know was from his ignorance. So if there is a permissible medicine and a person needs it, there is no harm in that. Yes.
