Quranic Perspectives on Cosmetic Surgery: Islamic Principles
The Quran doesn't mention plastic surgery directly, but Islamic principles offer guidance:
- Body sanctity: Body is a divine trust; self-harm/disfigurement without valid reason is discouraged.
- Preserve natural self: Accept God-given features; vanity-driven alteration may conflict.
- Medical necessity: Correcting defects/injuries/deformities for well-being is permitted ("remove harm").
- Intention matters: Self-improvement/medical need = permissible; vanity/excess = questionable.
- Modesty: Procedures must not violate Islamic dress/gender norms.
- Expert consultation: Seek qualified medical and religious advice.
Interpretations vary among scholars/schools; individual consultation is recommended.
