What is the ruling on using a program that changes facial features, and does that fall under altering Allah's creation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to manipulate images of animate beings. This does not fall under changing Allah's creation, because it is not a change in the real body. However, it may fall under imitating Allah's creation, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection are those who imitate Allah's creation."
