What is the ruling on creating dimples in the face?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If dimples are natural, there is no harm in them. If the intention is to draw them, it is permissible, provided that no forbidden purpose is intended, such as deceiving a suitor or appearing with them before non- men. However, undergoing surgery to create them is not permissible, as it may fall under altering Allah's creation, which is forbidden.
