Question: What is the ruling regarding undergoing plastic surgery?
Response: Plastic surgery as applied in [the field of] medicine is divided into two categories:
One of them [is that which] is [seeking to] beautify [oneself] by removing a defect which a person incurs as a result of an accident or other than that, wherein there is no [legal] harm (prohibition) in [doing so] because the Prophet ﷺ permitted a man whose nose was cut off during battle to take on a [replacement] nose [made] from gold [from the hadeeth of 'Urfujah bin As'ad رضي الله عنه, transmitted by Abu Daawood no.4232 and an-Nasaa.ee no.5161; graded hasan by al-Albaanee].
