Is tightening loose skin during a C-section considered altering God's creation or perfecting the work?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mentioned skin tightening is permissible if it is for restoring something to its natural state or correcting a defect or disfigurement. This procedure should be performed by a female doctor. If none is available, then it is permissible for a male doctor to perform it in cases of extreme necessity, while observing the regulations such as avoidingKhalwa (private seclusion with a person of the opposite sex) and limiting the viewing to only what is necessitated by the need.
