The Ruling on Creams and Ointments for Enlarging the Breasts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! This question is from one of the sisters. She says: These days, creams and ointments for enlarging the breasts have become widespread among women. What is the ruling on a woman using such creams? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
The issue of using ointments and cosmetics on the skin is that one needs them, so there is no harm in that. However, if it enlarges the breasts and changes the natural creation, this is not permissible. This is from the work of Satan.
and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allahوَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ
[An-Nisa 4:119]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked, and he cursed the women who widen their gait for beauty. So this is not permissible, which is intended to change the creation of Allah by enlarging the breasts, enlarging the body, or the like. As for merely using oils that a person needs for his skin or for a sensitivity he has, there is no objection to that. Yes, for the sake of need, there is no objection. Yes.
