Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries today, but for Muslims, an important question arises: Is BBL haram in Islam?
This article explores what Islamic teachings say about BBL, drawing from the Quran, Hadith, and the views of Islamic scholars.
🕌 What is BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)?
BBL is a cosmetic procedure where fat is taken from one part of the body (like the abdomen or thighs) and injected into the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. Unlike implants, BBL uses your body’s own fat.
📜 Is BBL Haram in Islam?
The short answer:
✅ BBL is haram (forbidden) in most cases because it involves altering the creation of Allah for beautification, which is prohibited in Islam.
However, there are exceptions where some scholars may permit it — for example, if it’s done to correct a medical issue or deformity, not for vanity.
📖 Evidence from Quran and Hadith
🌿 Quran:
Allah says:
“And I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah.” (Quran 4:119)
This verse, though referring to Satan’s vow to mislead humans, is used by scholars to prohibit unnecessary body alterations for beautification.
📜 Hadith:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Allah has cursed those who practice tattooing and those who get tattooed, those who pluck eyebrows, and those who file teeth for beauty, changing the creation of Allah.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
This Hadith applies to body modifications purely for aesthetic purposes, like BBL.
🧠 Why Do Scholars Say BBL is Haram?
1️⃣ Changing Allah’s Creation (Taghyeer Khalq Allah)
Islam discourages altering one’s body for vanity. BBL is considered a major alteration.
2️⃣ Health Risks and Harm (Darar)
BBL is one of the riskiest cosmetic procedures, with risks like fat embolism and infection. Islam prohibits harming oneself unnecessarily (“Do not harm yourselves or others” – Hadith).
3️⃣ Imitating Non-Muslim Practices (Tashabbuh)
BBL often reflects Western beauty standards, which some scholars discourage Muslims from copying.
🏥 Are There Exceptions When BBL Could Be Halal?
Some scholars allow cosmetic surgery if:
✅ It corrects congenital defects or deformities (e.g., due to burns, accidents, or medical conditions).
✅ It restores normal function or appearance after an injury.
This ruling is based on the Islamic principle:
“Necessities make the prohibited permissible.” (Al-darurat tubih al-mahzurat)
So, if BBL is done purely for medical or psychological necessity—not vanity—it may be allowed.
📋 What About Reconstructive Surgery?
Islam makes a clear distinction between:
✅ Reconstructive surgery (halal) – fixing damage or defects.
❌ Purely cosmetic surgery (haram) – altering a healthy body for beautification.
BBL usually falls into the second category.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
❓ Is BBL allowed if my husband asks for it?
No. Altering your body for beautification at your husband’s request still falls under changing Allah’s creation, which is haram. Mutual love and acceptance are encouraged instead.
❓ What if BBL boosts my self-esteem?
Islam teaches that true self-worth comes from piety (taqwa), not physical appearance. If psychological harm exists due to a deformity, scholars may permit medical correction.
❓ Are non-surgical butt lifts haram?
If they involve injections or implants, the same ruling applies. Non-invasive treatments like exercise or dietary changes are halal.
