What is the ruling on using botox for cosmetic procedures such as silicon breast implants? I have been wondering about this matter for a while.
Praise be to Allah.
There is nothing wrong with breast implants or enlargement for one who has had a breast removed or who is suffering because they are small, because that comes under the heading of removing a fault or restoring something to the way it was created by Allah.
The evidence for that is the report narrated by Abu Dawud (4232), al-Tirmidhi (1770) and al-Nasai (5161) from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Tarafah, that the nose of his grandfather ‘Arjafah ibn As‘ad was cut off in the battle of al-Kulab, and he wore a nose made of silver , but it began to stink, so the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) told him to get a nose made of gold. This hadith was classed as hasan by al-Albani in Saheeh Abi Dawud.
Please see the comments of the scholars concerning this matter in the answers to questions no. 138273 and 108860 .
It is permissible to use botox if it is free from harm, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm.” Narrated by Ahmad (2865), Ibn Majah (2341) and classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Ibn Majah.
And Allah knows best.
