What is the ruling on non-surgical cosmetic procedures with temporary effects - such as injections for dissolving nasal fat, Botox, and fillers - and what is the difference between their ruling and that of cosmetics, teeth whitening, and dyeing hair and eyebrows, given that they share the same goal of increasing beauty and have a temporary effect?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Cosmetic injections that depend on the efficacy of the substance, such as fat-dissolving injections and Botox, are permissible if their ingredients are lawful and harmless, and the purpose is legitimate. However, those that depend on the bulk of the substance and its filling of body voids, such as fillers, are considered surgical interventions.
