What is the ruling on money coming from a hospital that performs reconstructive and compensatory cosmetic surgeries?
The ruling on the money earned by hospital owners depends on the type of procedures performed therein. Cosmetic surgeries include both permissible and forbidden types. If the husband's work is completely separate and he receives his wages for permissible work, then the money is lawful. However, if he shares with others who do not adhere to regulations, it is a Sharia violation. If the income is mixed, then the sin is twofold: consuming unlawful earnings and cooperating in sin. The money resulting from permissible procedures is lawful, and that resulting from forbidden ones is unlawful. If distinguishing is difficult, one acts based on the predominant assumption. One must take the initiative to completely separate from those who perform forbidden cosmetic surgeries, even if it leads to the dissolution of the partnership.
