Interesting question
Do you think its okay
if it is to please your husband and you have no objections than i think it is ok. if its just your perception and your complex about your body but he is otherwise ok than i guess you ned councelling rather than implants.
this is just my opinion.
Doesn't the husband need counseling if he feels the need for bigger breasts. No doubt because the media has corrupted his mind
Media is every where and a good man wants all those fantasies in his own wife too so if he's kind and want so then ( i think) it is ok. But there's a thin line between showing of to others and or between you and your husband. May Allah keep our privacies and bless us when in private !
And above in Quran it's said that it's the Allah who put satisfaction in our hearts so pray to Allah for this he put love between husband n wife which is even beyond the dirty media
Salaams,
The only concession for any type of plastic surgery is to correct a defect or restore a part of the body to its previous state following a deforming injury. Unless you had to have a mastectomy for cancer or some other similar situation, breast augmentation would likely not be permissable. Wanting a breast enhancement to simply have more confidence or please your husband would be following after vanity and also altering Allah's creation needlessly, which is haraam.
I think the best solution to your body image issues and resultant depression is to seek professional counseling.

Assalam'alaykum,
Basically, we must never change/alter Allah's creation. Allah has made all of us differently with different bounties and so we must accept his gifts, blessings etc and be grateful. We are given plenty of other blessings and so we must never forget those just because we're unhappy about one aspect of our body.
"Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, And be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me." [ Al-Qur'an 2:152]
"And He gives you all that you ask for. But if you count the favors of Allah, never will you be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude." [ Al-Qur'an 14:34]
Regarding your situation,
Just as sis Amy said, If the reason for your breat implantation is to correct any defects caused by injuries, or to restore part of body to its original form etc it may be permissible.
But if the reason is to beautify yourself, then it is prohibited. As this means changing Allah's creation.
Allah warned us when satan said: "Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires;...and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah." And whoever takes Shaitan (Satan) as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss.
(4:119)
Our Prophet cursed the women who plucked facial hairs for beauty, made gap between teeth for beauty, put tattoes, put wigs etc. Thus enlarging breats for beauty is surely inviting greater curse. I've heard that, breast implantation has many side-effects, one of them is cancer. Basically, why would one go into risks of more harms ? Nevertheless, if its for beauty sake, then its not permissible.
Hello...
I have always believed Allah's creation is the prettiest. Its very easy to say that you CANT do this and that for beautification. I have tuberous breasts which is a deformity and it does not look feminine at all. These are underdeveloped breasts. and FYI in future when I will have babies(if I am fertile) then I wont be even able to produce milk because my mammary gland is absent due to the tubular breasts. There is no cure to this problem. Breasts implants can make it look good to keep my husband but still I wont be able to lactate.
this problem is caused by low progesterone. which in case even affected my weight.. My metabolism rate is super low and I gain weight crazily. I exercise, swim and eat less... To lose weight I need to drink 3 cups soups a day and exercise. If I eat more than that I gain weight. For the record- It has no definite solution. --- After visiting 15-20 doctors... thats what I got...
and you said--
"Allah has made all of us differently with different bounties and so we must accept his gifts, blessings etc and be grateful."
I am so grateful that he created me in this way that everyone laughs at me and call my breasts lichis. Probably you are laughing too..and it looks more odd because I am chubby.. Again, its very to easy to call those deformities as gifts unless you have one. I am gonna do a breast implant when I have enough money. I dont want to spend my parents money.
You must be thinking I hate Allah now..... No, I dont...I think, I am just a comedy channel for Allah which is pretty entertaining to watch...
Hi dear, you are not a comedy channel to Allah. Keep in mind he out us on this earth to test us. So you are being tested. So are others to see will they be mean.....I'm sorry your having a very difficult time but stay positive there is someone out there for u
Alhamdulilah for keeping those of the Qur'an and Sunnah well protected by legal advice that's privileged to those who remember.... surely Allah has spoken the truth
i have read in fatawas that there is two types of cosmetic surgery. One being to remove a deformity and the other is to beautify. I want to know what my issue is considered. I was born with little breast. And i mean no breast. I basically look like a boy when i have no bra on. My husband is not satisfied with my breast. He has asked me to get breast implants and i want to know if it is haram, being that i am born with this deformity and would it be considered that i am beautifying myself, since i would be doing it for my husband satisfaction. I have been married to him for 18 years and we have 3 kids together and he has always been telling that is what he wants and he now can afford to pay for it and he is more persistent now more than ever. I really don’t want our marriage to be affected by this issue or for it to end because of this issue. So i need your advice
It is really sad to see that almost everyone one of us is giving their own fatwah without having proper basic Islamic teachings.
No wonder that we are in state of loss and no one even bother to seek fatwah from qualified scholars.
May Allah guide us and show us the straight path.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about some cosmetic procedures such as straightening the nose, liposuction, breast reduction or enhancement, and so on – what is the rulingon these procedures? What are the guidelines?
He replied: With regard to the beautification that you mentioned, beautification is of two types. The first type is done to remove faults and the second type is done to increase beauty.
The first type – removing faults – is permissible; if a person’s nose is bent, it is permissible for him to have surgery to straighten it, because this is removing a fault. The nose is not normal, rather it is bent, so he wants to straighten it. The same applies to a man who has a squint; this is undoubtedly a fault, so if he wants to have surgery to correct the fault, it is permissible and there is no reason why he should not, because this is removing a fault. If a man’s nose is cut off due to an accident, can he have a prosthetic nose installed? An incidentof this type occurred at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The nose of one of the Sahaabah was cut off in battle and the man had a noseof silver made, but the silver tarnished and developed an unpleasant smell, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave him permissible to have a nose made of gold, so he did that. Hence we say: is it for beautification or to remove a fault? Removing a fault is permissible. The same applies if the lip is cleft (harelip); it is permissible to join the two sides because this is removing a fault.
With regard to the second type, which is increasing beauty, this is what is not permissible. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed women who file their teeth for beauty, i.e., they file them and make gaps between themfor the purpose of beautification. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed that, and he cursed women who put on hair extensions by adding hair to their short hair and so on.
(al-Liqa’ al-Shahri(50/8)).
it is also sad to see, that people like you firstly cannot be bothered to find an authentic reply in the light of Quran and sunnah, but those who have come up with replies you can only criticise them.
thank you Amy and Ali ,i also learned from your reply.
Ahmed: No wonder that we are in state of loss and no one even bother to seek fatwah from qualified scholars..
Do you think the following scholar, head of hadith department in Al-azhar university a qualified scholar?
Al-Azhar fatwa on adult suckling (2007)
The head of the Hadith Department in Al-Azhar University, Dr. Izzat Atiyya, issued a controversial fatwa dealing with breastfeeding of adults. The fatwa stated that a woman who is required to work in private with a man not of her immediate family - a situation that is forbidden by Islamic law - can resolve the problem by breastfeeding the man, which, according to shari’a, turns him into a member of her immediate family.......“Being together in private means being in a room with the door closed, so that nobody can see them… A man and a woman who are not family members are not permitted [to do this], because it raises suspicions and doubts. A man and a woman who are alone together are not [necessarily] having sex, but this possibility exists, and breastfeeding provides a solution to this problem… I also insist that the breastfeeding relationship be officially documented in writing… The contract will state that this woman has suckled this man… After this, the woman may remove her hijab and expose her hair in the man’s [presence]…
There are many subjects where scholars themselves don't agree with each other. Many scholars think masturbation is not haram.
To he best of my knowledge, it is not in good light to change Allah's creation. The way Allah has made your body, the same way it has to be returned. In fact, Tattoos, Liposuction, Breast Augmentation etc. are not permitted. I've even heard that donating organs is also not allowed unless it is to save a life. i.e. there is this new trend that you can donate your eyes after death. I'm not sure whether this is permitted in Islam.
Do not make your own hands the cause of your destruction ( Al- Baqarah, 2:195)
ASA i had fat moved from one area of my body to another and i am
Pleased with it. My breasts were too big! After my fourth child for my frame. Horrid back pain and i am not a big person but it looked odd and was disturbing so i had some removed. Only you and ALLAH swt knows sincerely our weaknesses and what we cam deal with.
Hoe do you feel?
Sister u can do yoga.some Asanas help enhancing it n toning it.n do meditation n pray n b spiritually active.In sha ALLAH ull see ALLAH (Swt) will remove all insecurities.after all this dunya is nothing but deception
My dear sister,
you have already been advised in the light of qur'an and hadith.
Im just going to tell u one thing that u r not the only one who is depressed with her body. Women all over the world see themselves as inadequate in pleasing their husbands and for that u shouldnt blame urself coz when u r unhappy with what u r naturally u r inderectly displeased with what Allah gave u.
i dont think it was a major problem with our previous generation. Women were not as depressed as they r today. Today the media has objectified women and then of course the epidemic of pornography has added to it.
.Almost every celebrity has larger than life breasts and super skinny waists. To fit into the mould of the barbie doll women have enslaved themselves more than liberated. Trust me u wont b any happier even if u did it and let me mention b4 i wud forget that therr r several complications involved in the procedure which factor should b seriously considered. Implants have to b maintained and so u have to c ur doctor on regular basis ( i heard that from a friend) A lot of women develop severe, the body rejects the foreign material and contant irritation causes infections and of course v know about the possibility of deadly cancer. Women with implants cannot breast feed their babies. Imagine ur breasts not able to do the primary job for which u have them in the first place. What an irony for the poor child. I think its better to have healthy humble breasts than walk around with a rocks on ur chest.
Its a false image that has been created that small busted women r less amorous.a lot of women with large breasts have low sex.drives where as in contrast to many small chested women who have a very exciting and satisfied sex life with their partners. This trend just started to provide men with virtual excitement. look at some of the popular celebrities with super duper augmented breasts. They r fatal enough to suffocate or bludgeon any man to death( im laughing but they could if she is determined to) LOL
The reasons on this forum r good enuff to discourage u from having implants ( rocks) for natural breasts as for ur husband..just tell him that u love way too much to suffocate him to death.
He cant love u more.
My breasts have sagged from two pregnancies can I have a lift surgery ?
I think its the other way around. If u feel depressed about and uncomfortable its more natural reason. Then to do it to please any one else. I would dig really deep to find reason why i want this and pray for Allahs mercy on this bad feeling and see where it guides u. May Allah guide us, and protect us Ameen
