~ALLAH 0 AKBAR~
Salam Alykum everyone,

I'm just curious about this. Is't Haram to have plastic surgery. Not that I'm interest having that. I over heard someone talking about having plastic surgery. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say. Have nice day everyone.

Wasalam :)

Assalaam walaikum,

Islam is a faith of reason. If there is medical reason, yes. Think of burn.

Now...if you want to look like the beautiful people..than it is beyond reason why you would want plastic to replace the real thing.

Assalam'alaicum,
If a woman's body has been altered so much during her pregnancies that she feels ashamed to show herself in front of her husband, is she allowed to have a plastic surgery?
Jezakallahou haera

Praise be to Allaah.

Your question revolves around the ruling on performing plastic surgery, on which we will give you a brief summary.

Doctors who specialize in plastic or cosmetic surgery define it as surgery performed to improve the appearance of part of the body. This may be done by choice, or because it is necessary.

Plastic surgery that is considered necessary is that which is done when there is a need for it, when something does not look right, when something is missing, if there is too much or too little of something, or because something has been destroyed or deformed. At the same time, it is regarded as “cosmetic” surgery because it results in improved appearance.

Faults may be of two types: physical or congenital faults and faults which result from illness. Congenital faults include abnormally turned-out lips, hare-lips, twisted fingers or toes, etc. Faults which result from illness include the scars left by leprosy or other skin diseases, or scars caused by accidents and burns. There is no doubt that such faults and scars cause physical and psychological pain and harm, therefore Islam allows people afflicted with them to remove or reduce them by surgical means. They cause the kind of mental and psychological pain that allows this surgery as an urgent need, where necessity permits something that is ordinarily forbidden. Any cosmetic surgery which comes under this heading of need because of the fact that the reason for the surgery is causing harm is permissible, and is not considered to be changing the creation of Allaah.

To further understand the difference between what is permitted and what is forbidden, we will quote the words of Imaam al-Nawawi in his commentary on the hadeeth: “Allaah has cursed the women who make tattoos and the women who have this done, the women who pluck facial hair and the women who have this done, and women who widen the gap between their own or others’ teeth for the sake of beauty, changing what Allaah has created.” (Saheeh Muslim, 3966).

Imaam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The woman who tattoos is one who uses a needle or similar implement to prick the skin of the hand, wrist, lips or other part of a woman’s body until she draws blood, then she puts dye into the wound. It is haraam to do this or have it done by choice. Similarly, plucking or removing hair from the face is also haraam, whether one does it or asks someone else to do it for one, unless a woman has a beard or moustache, in which case it is not haraam to remove it. Widening the gap between the teeth is done by filing between the incisors. This is done by old women to give the appearance of youth and make the teeth look beautiful, because this attractive gap between the teeth is characteristic of young girls. When a woman gets old, her teeth get big and look ugly, so she may file them to make them look more attractive and give the impression that she is younger… It is haraam to do this or have it done by another, because of this hadeeth, and because it involves changing what Allaah has created, and is a form of deception and falsehood. Widening the gap between the teeth is something that is done to make a person look beautiful, which indicates that what is haraam is when this is done in the pursuit of beauty, but if it were done as a form of treatment because of some problem or deformity in the teeth, then there is nothing wrong with it. And Allaah knows best.” (al-Nawawi, commentary on Saheeh Muslim, 13/107).

We should point out here that cosmetic surgeons do not distinguish between cases of serious need and other cases. Their concern is to earn money and satisfy their customers. Materialists and proponents of “freedom” think that man is free and can do whatever he wants with his body, but this is wrong; the body belongs to Allaah and He can command whatever He wills concerning it. Allaah has told us about the ways in which Iblees (Shaytaan) promised to lead people astray, one of which is (interpretation of the meaning): “‘…and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allaah.’…” [al-Nisaa’ 4:119]

There are cosmetic surgical procedures which are haraam and are not considered to be excusable; these are seen as tampering with the creation of Allaah for the sake of beauty. Examples include: breast enlargement or reduction, and procedures aimed at reversing the signs of ageing, such as face-lifts etc. The Islamic view is that these are not permitted, because there is no urgent need or necessity for them; rather, the aim is to change and tamper with the creation of Allaah for reasons of human vanity. This is haraam and the one who does it is cursed because it involves two things mentioned in the hadeeth: pursuit of beauty and changing what Allaah has created.

Added to this is the fact that these operations are aimed at deceit, and may involves the injection of materials extracted from aborted foetuses. These are very serious crimes. Moreover, many of these operations result in ongoing pain and other side effects, as the specialists themselves say. (See Ahkaam al-Jaraahah (Rulings on surgery) by Dr. Muhammad Muhammad al-Mukhtaar al-Shanqeeti).

On the basis of the above, we say to you: if the disfigurement that you are dealing with is incidental and is causing you severe embarrassment as well as putting your husband off, for example, and you are not doing this operation for the purpose of making yourself more beautiful, but only to remove or reduce an accidental disfigurement, then there is nothing wrong with doing it, in sha Allaah. And Allaah knows best.

I have an appointment so I can't write an involved post but some of the sheik's medical knowledge is not accurate. (using aborted fetuses for surgery, that is not done....I think he was confused about stem cells which can be harvested from umbilical cords after birth and aid immensely in burn victims) But insh'Allah I will be back later.

:salam2: this is what i read regarding changing the aspect that Allah left us:

There are, however, some additional prohibitions regarding personal appearance of which our Muslim sisters should be aware. These prohibitions have to do with changes made to the appearance which are regarded as unacceptable alterations to Allah's creation, namely wearing wigs, plucking facial hair, filing teeth and getting tattoos.

Asma related that:

A woman asked the Prophet (saws):

"Messenger of Allah, my daughter had smallpox, and as a result her hair fall out. She has recently been married; can I get her a wig?" He answered: " Allah has cursed the maker and wearer of a wig."

Abdullah said that Allah (swt) has cursed tattooers and those who are tattooed, and those women who have their teeth filed for beauty and those who have their hair plucked and thus alter Allah's creation.

A woman asked him: "What is all this?" He replied: "Should I not curse one whom Allah's Messenger has cursed? And it is in the Book of Allah." She said: I read the Qur'an from cover to cover but did not find that in it. "He said: If you had read it thoroughly you would have found it. Allah says "Whatever Allah's Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he has forbidden, refrain from it

Qur'an 69: 7
(Muslim)

This Hadeeth is particularly significant for us, because it not only informs us of something which the Prophet (saws) found hateful, it also makes it perfectly clear that, in matters of religion, the commands of the Prophet (saws) are as binding on us as the commands of Allah (swt).


Plastic surgery is even beyond all this and if is for beauty and not medical my conclusion it is haram.

In addition to the daleel that was posted (or perhaps this was included in it as I did not read it in its entirety), I think it depends on what the reason behind the surgery is.

TITLE: Cattle cloned from adult ear fibroblasts
SOURCE: ISB News Report - March 2000
by Eric. A. Wong
DATE: March 3, 2000

-------------------- archive: http://www.gene.ch/ --------------------


Cattle cloned from adult ear fibroblasts

The ability to precisely modify the mouse genome has been facilitated
by the isolation and manipulation of embryonic stem (ES) cells. ES
cells can be maintained in a totipotent or undifferentiated state
during long-term culture while selection for cells with targeted
genetic modifications is performed. Transgenic livestock with
targeted genetic modifications cannot be generated by this approach
because livestock ES cells comparable to mouse ES cells have not yet
been isolated. An alternate approach for performing precise genetic
modifications in livestock lies in the application of nuclear
transfer technology, i.e., cloning. In this technique, cells can be
cultured and used as nuclear donors. Therefore, a key issue is
whether cells can be maintained in culture for a prolonged period in
order to allow time for selection of cells with precise genetic
modifications, and still serve as nuclear donors.

In the February 1, 2000 issue of the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences (USA), researchers at the Kagoshima Prefectural
Cattle Breeding Institute of Japan and the University of Connecticut
report the production of six cloned calves from adult fibroblast
cells after long-term culture. Skin fibroblasts were collected from
the ear of a 17-year old Japanese Black Beef bull and cultured for up
to three months prior to nuclear transfer.

The physiological status and passage number of the cultured ear
fibroblasts affected the efficiency of cloning. As had been
previously reported in sheep cloning studies, serum starvation prior
to nuclear transfer is an important step. No calves were born when
nuclei were obtained from non-serum starved cells. Higher development
rates for embryos were observed when nuclei were obtained from cells
maintained in culture for 10-15 passages compared with cells
maintained for five passages.

>From 54 manipulated embryos, six live calves were born. Three
pregnancies were established using passage five cells, but all three
fetuses were aborted. Nine pregnancies were established using passage
10 cells and four live bull calves were born. Two of these four
calves died shortly after birth. Using passage 15 cells, two out of
three pregnancies resulted in live bull calves.

:salam2: about the above, did you know that:

wa 'alaykum salam warahamtu-llahi w abarakatuhu

as salam 'alaykum warahamatu-llah

respected sister, JazakAllah khair for sharing this.

I'm doing my masters in Biomedical Engineering, and my Minor is Biomaterials, which widely deals with Tissue Engineering.

the reports you've attached, I know them more or less.
however, in Tissue Engg, there is one term, Omnipotent (the things you stated there, like totipotent or pluripotent).
although i never found that Tissue Engg is concerned about God or neither they are interested, they are more or less, don't want to get into these issues.

Omnipotent: The term omnipotence is not used for stem cells, but is used in religions as one of God ’s characteristics.

there are other quotes from scientists of different times in the same book I studied:
“ Recapitulation of inductive processes used in organogenesis by the embryo is a prerequisite for successful tissue
engineering. ”
Marcel Karperien May 2006
“ How superior to our mind is Nature ’ s own experiment. ”
Leo Vroman 1992

“ Nothing is lost, nothing is created, all is transformed”
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (1743–1794)

in a very planned way, bit by bit they are giving the concept of creationism.

however, their thoughts are so shallow that they don't want to think beyond what they see or they get.

they want to limit God into a special cell, although they don't care.

they can do tissue engineering, with what they have, not form what is not there.
like if we want to create something like a pottery, we need water, earth, then make clay and to give a shape we need some apparatus, but what about earth and water?

Once I read a news in Yahoo/MSN: Stephan Hawkins changes his statement about God.

Actually He stated: something can be created from nothing.
and which is the ability of Allah alone.

whenever Allah say, Be and it is there.

so I don't know about Stephan Hawkins, actually he made it clear that something can be created from nothing. Allah doesn't need any help or something of some raw materials .
yes He has created us from clay, but earth and water was there.

what point is:
it is not said by Allah that we can not be able to do these things, but there are some hudood, limits or boundaries. today or tomorrow they gonna face the problems or consequences.

okay let say the so called science is the ultimate, so what?
at what peak human wants to go, I don't know.

just because they have produced some microchips or implantable devices, they think that they have crossed God's creation, astaghfirAllah. and they want to prove there is no God.

what Allah says in Quran, it is clear, nothing juggling around the point or something to be confused:

Suratul Waqiah, Chapter 56, verse 57-87

57.We created you, then why do you believe not?
58.Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit.
59.Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
60.We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,
61.To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not.
62.And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember or take heed?
63.Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground.
64.Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?
65.Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment).

66.(Saying): "We are indeed Mughramun (i.e. ruined or lost the money without any profit, or punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation, etc.)! [See Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 17, Page 219]
67."Nay, but we are deprived!"
68.Tell Me! The water that you drink.
69.Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?
70.If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks (to Allah)?

71.Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
72.Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73.We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).
74.Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

75.So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse)
76.And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
77.That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Quran).

78.In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).
79.Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).
80.A Revelation (this Quran) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
81.Is it such a talk (this Quran) that you (disbelievers) deny?
82.And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!
83.Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat?
84.And you at the moment are looking on,
85.But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.27, Page 209]
86.Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.)
87.Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful?


death is the most certain thing in our life, the moment we are born, the most certain thing in the world is: we are going to die, no other thing is so definite as death, like a child can even don't cry at the birth time but he/she can die.

Ibn Taymiyyah rahmatu-llahi alayhi said:

''Death is the most certain thing in our life, yet we behave such that it is the most uncertain thing in our life''

subhan Allah.



why should as human our thoughts be shallow, why we can not think of further, we are not compelling them to our way of life, so why they compel us to their way, their shallow and stupid way or thinking.

it is their problem, that they can not think beyond that, why should we have to follow you, oh the atheists, believers in creationism or darwinism.

you put the human in the place of God, like darwin or stephan hawkins, disable individual. shame on your disability, as you have taken a disable person as your god or one to follow, that's why you are disable too, because you can not think the further. useless individuals.


that was nothing just, thought about the atheists, that's it!!
i just couldn't help, it was not directed to anyone.

I hope what I wrote is in clear words and everyone can understand


have nice moments

may Allah azza wa jal help us to attain good understanding of His religion.
may Allah azza wa jal make steadfast in faith and a'mal.

I heard one sheikh said:

he was asking in the khutbah to all people, is it enough to have the eye-sight and a thing to be there to see?

all of them answered yes!

He said: wrong! we need light as well.
like we need the light of the knowledge of Quran.

otherwise, without the light of Quran, you might thing that our forefathers were monkeys, like Darwin use to think

he also said, he was intelligent, but he failed to realize, because the light of Quran was not there.

funny one.


may Allah enlighten us with great knowledge
masha Allah that we are educating ourselves, but not crossing the hudood Allah. because Alhamdu li Allah we are enlightened with the light of Quran and Sunnah.

I think that Allah has created each woman with her beautiness.then,if a woman doesn't content herself for what Allah has given her,well may she burn in the Hell for her misguidance.
it's like tattoos,piercings,hair-extentions and so on..Allah gave to women the key to perfection,allowing them to wait for their husbands in Jannah,and they want to be beautier!?

Dear sisiter,don't keep this post like an offense,it's only my opinion.I'm not a good reader and I often write using my instinct instead of what it's written in some books.
the time passes for everybody,and if a woman wants to feel more attractive,she can do anything,but nothing against senility/illness/death.And what will her lips answer when Allah will ask them what that ignection of botulin made?

Every part of our body will show its deeds,and a pair of lips with botulin is a big misdeed!:girl3:
 

nyerekareem

abdur-rahman
I guess it's a matter of the intention of the person getting the surgery. After all it is changing the creation of Allah SWT. We pretty much all know how image making is pretty frowned upon due to the mimicking of Allah's creation. So I'm guessing that having surgeries just to have them just might be haram. I'm sure there is more concrete evidence about this subject in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Allah knows best
