What is the ruling on liposuction from the buttocks for both men and women, and does this fall under altering Allah's creation?
Liposuction from the buttocks of both men and women is impermissible according to Islamic law because it is an aesthetic procedure that falls under the category of altering Allah's creation, which is condemned in the Holy Quran. Furthermore, it is not permissible due to its aspect of altering creation for the sake of beauty and enhancement, similar to tattooing and plucking eyebrows. This surgery also involves other prohibitions, such as unnecessary anesthesia, and the performance of the surgery by a non- doctor, which necessitates touching, looking at the awrah, and khalwah (private seclusion), or the exposure of the awrah if performed by a same-sex practitioner.
