The Ruling on Cosmetic Surgery for a Woman Without Necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman underwent cosmetic surgery on her face without necessity, and it happened in a moment of heedlessness. After that, she repented to Allah, and now she is very afraid of what she did. Will her repentance be accepted?
Answer:
Yes, repentance is accepted from all sins, if it is valid, if it is sincere repentance; it is accepted from all sins. Allah the Exalted said: [Surah al-Zumar: 53]. The scholars are in agreement that this verse is regarding those who repent from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and other sins. Whoever repents with sincere repentance from shirk and the rest of the sins, Allah turns to him in mercy. This includes what the woman did, because repentance is a mercy from Allah and a favor from Allah, which He has bestowed upon His servants.
And sincere, wholehearted repentance includes three conditions: regret for the past, abandoning the sin, and the sincere resolve not to return to it. These are the three conditions for a man or a woman.
The first is regret, ... that he feels sorry for the past, regrets it, and grieves over what he did.
The second is that he leaves the disobedience, abandons it, and avoids it; out of fear of Allah, reverence for Allah, and obedience to Him.
The third is that he resolves with a sincere resolve that he will not return to the sin, whether the sin is specific to him or specific to another.
But if it involves another person, a fourth condition is necessary: which is his seeking forgiveness, or giving him his right. If he has wronged someone, he asks him to forgive him, or gives him his right. If it is retaliation, he allows him to take retaliation from him. If it is money, he gives him his money. If it is backbiting, he seeks his forgiveness. If he is unable to seek forgiveness for the backbiting, he mentions him with the good qualities he knows about him. He mentions him with these in the gatherings where he backbit him, meaning the gatherings where he spoke ill of him, he speaks of the good he knows about him, so that this offsets that. Unless it is easy for him to ask for his pardon and say, "Forgive me, I spoke about your honor." If he forgives him, the requirement is fulfilled. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, repentance is accepted from all sins, if it is valid, if it is sincere repentance; it is accepted from all sins. Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُAnd sincere, wholehearted repentance includes three conditions: regret for the past, abandoning the sin, and the sincere resolve not to return to it.
