The Ruling on Treating the Jaw to Return It to Its Natural Position
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah love you. The listener, a man from Damascus in the Syrian Republic, says in his first question: My brother’s lower jaw has come out and shifted slightly forward. He is not currently complaining of any problem because of it, but he wants to have surgery to return his jaw to its original position. He wants to know your opinion on this: is it religiously permissible or not?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Is it a form of treatment? There is nothing wrong with treating his jaw so that it returns to its correct natural position and the defect that afflicted him is removed. Seeking medical treatment and cure is permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
