Is it permissible to take stimulants and hormones for muscle growth and bodybuilding?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to use stimulants and hormones to build muscles as long as they do not contain anything forbidden by Islamic law or cause harm to the person. However, if they include something forbidden or have harmful side effects, then their use is not permissible, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm."
