Is it permissible, Islamically, to get a temporary tattoo to define the upper lip, knowing that it lasts for three years and then needs to be redone, given that she has suffered from a cleft lip since birth, which causes her psychological pain, and she currently uses a lipstick liner daily to correct this defect?
