{"_id":"668d9fec0b76658b4c232942","title":"Is plastic surgery haram?","question":"Is plastic surgery haram? What about things like invisalign?","answer":"I want to emphasize that the following statement is a general principle and should not be considered a fatwa for any particular circumstance. It is important to consult with a mufti regarding your specific situation. The general principle is that undergoing plastic surgery solely for the purpose of enhancing one's appearance is not permissible. This is because it involves altering the body without a legitimate necessity. However, modifications to the body are allowed when they are necessary to correct abnormalities or serve a medical purpose. For instance, getting braces to align misaligned teeth is permissible because it corrects an abnormality. On the other hand, procedures like tooth contouring, which are performed purely for aesthetic reasons, would not be considered permissible.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327ba","tag":"Women: Beauty","count":54},{"_id":"686bff2f5bca77ccedff912f","tag":"Health: Medical Procedures & Surgery","count":19}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:08.982Z"}
