Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... and the best is to follow the text.
The questioner : ... He says: What is the ruling on ... .
The questioner : ... If the creation is such that it hinders a person from moving or something?
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : ... If a person's creation is such that it hinders him from moving or hinders him from working?
The Shaykh : ... We said, my brother, there is a long discussion on this: changing [the body] is not permissible except out of dire necessity. If there is direct harm, then this is permissible; because this is not a matter of adornment. Our discussion on changing [the body] is as he (peace be upon him) said in a hadith:. So whatever is changed in the body of a man, or even a woman, seeking beautification and adornment, this is forbidden and not permissible.

Allah has cursed the women who pluck their eyebrows, and those who have their eyebrows plucked for them, and the women who tattoo, and those who have tattoos done for them, and the women who file their teeth to change the creation of Allah for the sake of beauty.
لعن الله النَّامصات والمتنمِّصات ، والواشمات والمستوشمات ، والفالجات المغيِّرات لخلق الله للحسن
