is it allowed?
my cousin says i have a mp nose, i was trhinking what islam says about having surgery done.
I will quote a famous Islamic scholar view on this based on Quran and Sunah
"Beautification which is used to reshape a deformed part of the body is generally recommended in Islam, as long as it is used for a valid reason.
As far as plastic surgery in Islam is concerned, we can say that there are two main kinds of plastic surgery, and they are as follows:
The first kind of plastic surgery is used for medical treatment, mainly to alleviate the suffering of the person. For example, there is nothing wrong with the use of plastic surgery in skin grafting, suturing a hollow wound and bone-setting. This kind of beautification is permissible. It is a form of co-operation in what is good and preventing harm that a person may face due to a deformity in his physical and outward appearance.
The second kind is cosmetic surgery that is normally used to change the Creation of Allah in an attempt to look more beautiful such as breast enlargement or reduction, face-lifts, spacing between teeth (just for beautification), reducing the size of lips and nose. This kind of surgery is not permitted in Islam because they alter the Creation of Allah. Allah Almighty says: "And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle's ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser and his loss is manifest." (An-Nisaa': 119)
Plastic surgery has advanced at a rapid rate in an attempt to reduce people's suffering. Unfortunately, some forms of surgery are used for luxurious purposes and not for a sound reason. Islam, however, welcomes the use of plastic surgery as long as it is done in people's favor. In certain cases, it is a necessity to remove an unwanted tooth or finger that might appear in a person's body.”
Allah Almighty knows best.
A lot of people usually make comments about once appearnces especially nose, ears waghera. Its better to avoid listening to such people usually becuase they have problem of thier own and to hide the guilt they find comfort in crticizng others appearance. A nose job is unnessary if its not casuing you any breathing problem or causing problems in respiratory process. But doing so if some one makes a statement that your nose is big is utterly ridculous.
i think these sort of noses look cute, my childhood crush had one of those noses and no one else has ever said nething but I heard noses keep growing throughour your life and although at 17 its not that big it mightget massive in say 10 years time, thanks for replying, I'll stick to your fatwa.
