The answer

The Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions emphasize the importance of preserving human health, safety, and dignity. The Almighty’s sayings: "And do not kill yourselves" and "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction" and "And We ordained for them therein a life for a life..." and "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam" indicate the prohibition of assaulting the human body. Furthermore, the Almighty’s sayings: "Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and He loves those who purify themselves" and "And eat and drink, but do not be extravagant" call for cleanliness and balance in eating and drinking. The Prophetic traditions such as: "The son of Adam fills no vessel worse than his stomach..." and "Whoever has hair, let him honor it" and "Cleanse these bodies..." affirm the care and preservation of the body.
