Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2024-01-17 07:54

Q: Is it permissible for an anaesthetic doctor to work with a plastic surgeon who may do cosmetic surgery i.e a patient is booked for cosmetic surgery and the anaesthetist will be required to put the patient to sleep for the procedure?

A: Undergoing plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons is not permissible in shariah. Hence, you should avoid administering the anaesthetic for these types of cases.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
