The answer

It is permissible to work as an intermediary in booking permissible surgical operations for a fixed commission or a percentage, and this falls under the category of ju'alah (a contract of reward). Cosmetic surgeries include those that are permissible for treatment or to remove the effects of an accident, and those that are forbidden for the purpose of increasing beauty and attractiveness. It is forbidden to mediate in anything that is impermissible, whether the applicant is a Muslim or a disbeliever. If the applicant's purpose for cosmetic surgery is unknown, the default is the permissibility of mediation. It is recommended to place a notice on the website clarifying the impermissibility of certain operations and to refrain from booking for anyone known to be undergoing a forbidden operation.
