In this fatwa:
If your nose is crooked or appears abnormal, you may seek treatment to resize it, provided it is not for merely cosmetic reasons.
Responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
Islam is a religion that affirms life rather than negates it. Its teachings aim to alleviate suffering, misery, and pain. One of the core objectives of Shari`ah is to eliminate harm and hardship, providing ease and comfort. Allah states, “Allah wishes to grant you ease and does not wish to impose hardship on you” (Al-Baqarah 2:185) and “He has not appointed any hardship for you in religion” (Al-Hajj 22:78).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There shall be no harm or reciprocating of harm.”
Islam encourages us to seek cures and treatments whenever possible. Remedies are recommended to cure diseases or rectify abnormalities or deformities that cause distress, pain, or social stigma.
Alleviating such conditions through permissible treatments is encouraged. The Prophet (peace be upon him) permitted his companions with deformities or injuries to their noses or teeth to use gold implants for correction or modification.
Considering these principles, if your nose is crooked or appears abnormal, you may seek treatment to resize it, provided it is not for merely cosmetic reasons.
It is crucial that this decision be guided by the advice of a qualified expert surgeon. The procedure must be recommended by the expert, ensuring it is safe and not likely to cause additional harm.
