( Part No : 9,Page No:419) As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!) I have received your letter in which you are inquiring about the following: What is the ruling on surgery performed to correct physical deformities which people suffer from, whether they are the result of disease or injuries in an accident, or congenital malformation? These operations include removing an extra finger and repairing the place to look normal; removing extra teeth, and straightening the remaining teeth to make the mouth look normal; closing a cleft palate, or “harelip” and making it look normal; removing scars and deformities caused by burns; straightening a large and crooked nose that is making it difficult to breathe; repairing an incomplete ear to make it look whole; correcting drooping eyelids which are interfering with a person's vision; performing facelifts to make the face look normal; performing mammaplasty surgery when the size of breasts may badly affect the spine; carrying out dermatoplasty; correcting the urethra in men in cases where incontinence may soil clothes; removing defected spots from the face; melting body fat (liposuction), ( Part No : 9,Page No:420) which may cause many diseases such as diabetes, hyper tension, and excess lipid in blood. Note that when these operations are done, the deformity will not recur, In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills). A: There is nothing wrong with treating these diseases through the lawful ways of treatment that are permissible, administered by specialized doctors who are certain that the operation will most likely be successful. This is because of the general meaning of the Shar`i evidence, which indicates that it is permissible to treat the sick with medicines that are prescribed in Shari`ah or are permissible. As for the forbidden medicines such as alcohol and so on, it is not permissible to use them for treatment. Among the legal indications in this regard is the following Hadith,  "There is no disease that Allah has created except that Allah has also created its treatment."  The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “For every disease there is a medicine, so if the medicine comes upon the disease, it will be cured by the Leave of Allah.” ,“Whoever among you can benefit his brother, then let him do so.” , "O Allah's servants! Treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful" and "Allah did not make your cure in what He prohibited for you." The Hadiths that stress this meaning are numerous. May Allah benefit you and help you, all the Muslim doctors, and us to do all that pleases Him and benefits His slaves, for He is the Most Generous, Most Kind. As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh! |

Ruling on surgery to correct physical deformity
The importance of caring for the newly Muslims who accept Islam in our countries
The importance of caring for the newly Muslims who accept Islam in our countries
( Part No : 9,Page No:459)
From `Abdul `Aziz Bin `Abdullah Ibn Baz to His Highness, the Honorable Prince, may Allah guide him to all goodness and make His religion victorious through him!
Amen.
May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!
I refer to Your Highness all the documents related to the conversion of the woman called J. M. A. to Islam...
I report to you that I think that it not permissible to return it back to her country or give her to her disbelieving husband, for Islam separates between her and him. One should think good of her and the like who embrace Islam in order to encourage them and others to accept Islam and abide by it out of cooperating in goodness in accordance with Allah's Saying, Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety) The Prophet (peace be upon him) also says, Allah helps His slave as long as the slave helps his brother. He (peace be upon him) also says, Beware of suspicion, for it is the worst of false tales. (Agreed upon by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
The government should do good to this woman and the like of those who accept Islam in our country and keep them in their positions. If she wants to marry to the person referred in the identity document, there is no harm with that provided that
( Part No : 9,Page No:460)
marriage is concluded by the court for the ruler is a guardian for those who have no guardian. The disbelieving guardians of this woman have no authority over her, for Islam separates between them and her. I hope that you concern with the matter of this woman and the like.
May Allah reward your pursuits, increase your reward, and make you among the supporters of Truth, for he is the Most Gracious!
May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be with you!
Complement: Concluding marriage should be carried out after she finishes the waiting period from her disbelieving husband after her accepting of Islam, which fulfills by giving birth to her baby if she is pregnant or passing through three times of menstruation. She should be trusted in the matter of menstruation, for she is more acquainted with the matter of herself.
May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him!

Some Words Regarding Al-Jaar "The Neighbors"
Some Words Regarding Al-Jaar "The Neighbors"
Some Words Regarding Al-Jaar "The Neighbors"
Verily all praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His aid and we ask His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allaah from the evil of our selves and from the evil of our own actions. Whosoever Allaah guides, then none can misguide him, and whosoever Allaah misguides then there is none that can guide him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and final Messenger, may Allaah’s Prayers of Peace and Blessing be upon him.
To proceed after that brief introduction:
The issue of neighbors is of interest and concern to all and in Islaam, the neighbors are held in a very high esteem, unlike in other systems of ethics and man-made laws. Indeed these others systems encourage people to disrespect their neighbors, so that it becomes easy to infringe upon their honor, abuse or harm them.
Allaah the Exalted and Most High said:
As for the neighbor, Allaah the most High has order us, in His book and through the tongue of His Prophet, to protect him, to respect him, his (or her) rights and to care about his welfare. Do you not see that Hesubhaanah, has mentioned the neighbor after the Tawheed, parents and close relatives, for He subhaanah says, “al-Jaari dhil-Qurbaa”–neighbors who are near meaning those who are (Qareeb) related to you “wal- jaaril-Junoob” –meaning those who are not related to you (Ghareeb). This is the statement of Ibn Abbaas. [Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr said “At-Tabaree reported it with hasan isnad.” (Al-Fathul-Baari 10/441)]
In the Arabic language, the word junoob is defined as: “Fulaanun Ajnabiyun” (a stranger), and the related word janaabah means: “Al-Bu’du” (distance in relationship).
The scholars of the Arabic language said,
“Falaa tahrimnnee Naa’ilaan ‘an janaabatin,
fa’innee amru’oon wasta al-qibaabi ghareeb.”
“Do not prevent me from seeing (my Muslim brother) Naa’il because ofjanaabah (not being related to him), for indeed I’m a man who is in the midst of a crowd that is ghareeb (strange or filled with strangers).”
The Arab poet Al-Ash’aree said:
“Ataytu Huraythan ‘an janaabatin,
fakaana Huraythun ‘an ‘ataa’iya jaamidaa.”
“I came to visit Hurayth in spite of janaabah (not being related to him), but Hurayth refused to give me anything [because of not being related].
Imaam Al-Qurtubee rahimahullaah, said:
“On this basis, concern for neighbors is a religious duty, regardless of whether they are Muslim or kaafir (non-Muslim) and this is the saheeh(correct) opinion.”
Al-Ihsaan (doing good) consoling him, treating him kindly, refraining from disturbing him and defending him.
Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullaah, said:
“Al-Jaarul-Qareeb means those who are related by blood, and al-Jaarul-Junoob means those who are not related. This is the saying of the majority, others have said that jaarul-qareeb refers to Muslims and jaarul-junoobrefers to non-Muslims, or that Jaarul-Qareeb means one’s wife and Jaarul-Junoob refers to one’s traveling companions.” [Al-Fathul-Baari (10/441)]
Our beloved Prophet (ﺳﻠﻢ ﻮ ﻋﻠﻳﻪ ﺍﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ ) forbade causing harm to the neighbors and advised the Muslims with treating them well, as he said,“He will not enter Paradise whose neighbor is not safe from his bad behavior.” And this is a serious threatening warning against causing harm to one’s neighbor whether Muslim or non-Muslim.
As for treating them well, Allaah’s Messenger (ﺳﻠﻢ ﻮ ﻋﻠﻳﻪ ﺍﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ ) said,“Jibreel (The Angel Gabriel -may Allaah’s peace and protection be upon him) kept recommending me to treat my neighbor well and politely until I thought that he would command me to make him one of my heirs.”
Also in another authentic Prophetic narration which proves that refraining from harming one’s neighbors is a part of Eemaan (true faith), the Messenger of Allaah (ﺳﻠﻢ ﻮ ﻋﻠﻳﻪ ﺍﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ ) said: “Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor.”
Disputes and feuds between neighbors regularly occur, and a bad neighbor is something to be dreaded, whilst a good one is as the saying goes, “worth his (or her) weight of gold!” But neighbor problems are nothing new, however much we may “go back to the good old days”, when people could leave their doors un-locked, it is still a fact that people have always been concerned both about what kind of neighbor they have, how they should relate to those who live closest to them.
The rights of neighbors do not entail only refraining from disturbing them, we should also put with their disturbance; be kind to them; be the ones to initiate good deeds; be the first to greet a neighbor; not to prolong disputes; visit them when they are sick; console them in times of sadness and congratulate them in times of happiness; forgive them their short-comings; not to stare into their house; not to upset them by leaning wood against their wall; not to pour away water in their gutter, not throw dirt or filth into their courtyard; not to stare at whatever they carry into their house; conceal whatever of private matters they may inadvertently reveal; not to eavesdrop on their conversations; not look at their female relatives; take care of their family’s needs when they may be absent; not to disturb their servants; be kind to their children; and guide them in religious or worldly matters of which they may have little knowledge of and the likes of these from noble manners.
But modern civilization, which is founded on materialism does not care for good principles and behavior. It has made man into a machine, going along in life’s orbit deaf and without feelings, playing the role laid down for him devoid of noble feelings or higher human principles.
No one can escape from his (or her) own monstrosity or deformity except for those whose souls are deeply rooted in religious principles and whose hearts are illuminated with true knowledge of Allaah azza wa jall, or those who live on the margins of society far away from the centers of materialistic civilizations, such as farmers, shepherds, and the people of the desert areas.
Among the noble principles which have been destroyed virtually world-wide by materialistic civilization, are the rights which people have over one another.
Among the most important of these rights are those which have been mentioned above, namely the rights of neighbors.
As respect for the neighbors was so important both during the jaahiliyyah(time of ignorance before Islaam) and when Islaam came, [it followed that this is a matter of] common sense and decency, as well as being required by Deen.
More to come inshaa'Allaahu ta'aalaa........
