Ruling on treating short stature
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have heard from some people that there are doctors who can restore short people to their appropriate height through medicines and pills. I have witnessed this in some relatives, where taking these pills restored their growth, which had stopped at a certain age. Is this permissible? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
I have no knowledge of that. I say I have no knowledge of it, and experience will clarify the matter. Experience will clarify the matter. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) did not send down a disease without sending down a cure for it; those who know it know it, and those who do not know it do not know it. Short stature may have internal pathological causes; if the doctor is guided to those causes and treats them, I am not aware of any impediment to that.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
