Why Tummy Tuck Procedure is Not Haram For a Muslim
C.J Ahmed-06.05.2023
A tummy tuck procedure removes excess fat in the tummy fr cosmetic reasons and is also known as abdominoplasty. This procedure is different than liposuction because it is a bit more invasive because tissues in the abdomen are sutured to give a mo pleasing look for the individual. Like all other cosmetic procedures, tummy tuck procedures are not haram because it is some scholars and not the true sources in Islam, namely the Quran and the authentic Hadiths that forbid it.
AnsweringThose Who Argue That it is Forbidden to Change Allah’s Creation
What needs to be understood is using one hadith to give umbrella fatwas and prohibiting everything from cosmetic surgery to breast implants is crazy because none of these are changing the creation because Islam does not specifically forbid them. Changing beauty is subjective and if making changes to your body is forbidden based on one hadith, then cutting the hair is also changing the cration of Allah (swt) but cutting the hair is allowed.
Narrated Muawiya: ”I cut short the hair of Allah's Messenger (sal) with a long blade” (Sahih al Bukhari)
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (sal) said, "To shave the pubic hair. to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra." (Bukhari)
Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (sal) and some of his companions got their heads shaved and some others got their hair cut short. (Bukhari)
All of these hadiths proves that cutting the hair is allowed in Islam. Now, some might argue that cutting the hair is different from making gaps in the teeth but there is one hadith which is not narrated by the prophet (sal) but by Abdullah ibn Masud aho also said that even plucking the eyebrows is changing Allah (swt)’s creation.
Narrated `Abdullah:
Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet (sal) has cursed? And that is in Allah's Book. i.e. His Saying: 'And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).' (59.7)” (Bukhari and Muslim)
If these people are going by the opinion of Abdullah Ibn Masud (rali) of the prohibition of women plucking eyebrows, then the sunnah of cutting the hair is also haram because you are changing Allah’s creation. First of all, Those who argue that changing the creation of Allah (swt) is haram must prove from the true sources of Islam, namely the Quran and the authentic Hadiths that its is forbidden and must clearly define and articulate what changing creation means from the sources of Islam without taking the opinions of the Sahabah or blindly following the wrong fatwas of scholars.
