Is Height Surgery Haram?

Published in Islamic Medical Ethics 1 min read

The permissibility of height surgery in Islam depends on the reason for seeking the procedure.

If the primary motivation is purely aesthetic or to conform to societal beauty standards, then it is generally considered haram (forbidden). This is because it involves altering the body in a way that is considered unnecessary and potentially harmful. It can also be seen as a form of vanity and a rejection of how Allah created you.

However, if the surgery is necessary for medical reasons, such as correcting a deformity or treating a health condition, then it is considered permissible.

It is important to note that the final decision about the permissibility of any medical procedure should be made by a qualified Islamic scholar after consulting with a medical professional.
