Abstract
The concept of Taghyīr fī Khalq Allāh تغيير في خلق الله (alteration in the creation of Allah), as mentioned in the Qur’an (Surah al-Nisāʾ: 119), holds critical significance in Islamic discourse especially when evaluating cosmetic surgery. Deep understanding of it can become a guiding principle to distinguish between permissible medical necessity and impermissible alteration for vanity offering a balanced framework to assess each case ethically and legally. This research article explores the jurisprudential dimensions of cosmetic surgical interventions through the lens of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The study distinguishes between necessary reconstructive surgeries and elective aesthetic modifications, evaluating them through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah such as preservation of life, dignity, and intellect. Drawing upon classical fiqh sources and modern fatwas, the article assesses the permissibility, limits, and ethical considerations of procedures. It further explores how intention (niyyah), harm (ḍarar), and deception (gharar) influence the legal rulings. The study concludes that while Islam allows medical intervention for genuine physical or psychological harm, procedures done purely for beautification or imitation may fall under the prohibition of altering Allah’s creation. The paper highlights the need for a balanced, maqāṣid-based approach that addresses both personal well-being and divine boundaries in shaping Islamic discourse on body modification.
