Kindly let me know whether hair transplantation for baldness is allowed or not.
Question
Kindly let me know whether hair transplantation for baldness is allowed or not. The procedure involves transplanting hair from back of the head to the balded area. JazakAllah.
Answer
Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (Radhiallaahu Anhu) said, 'Allah Ta'ala curses those ladies who practise tattooing, those who have themselves tattooed, those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's creation.' (Bukhari).
In view of the abovementioned Hadith, it is also not permissible for you to transplant hair for beautification purposes as that is also changing one's natural appearance.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
