Whether removing a birthmark is considered haram depends on the intention behind the removal.
According to the provided information, it is permissible to remove a birthmark under certain circumstances:
- If the intention is to remove a defect that causes damage: If the birthmark negatively impacts you or your body, removing it to restore yourself is allowed.
- If the birthmark poses a health risk: Removing moles or birthmarks that are a risk to your health is permissible.
However, if the primary intention is purely for beautification, it could be considered impermissible. The key factor is the intention behind the procedure. If it's for medical or psychological well-being due to a defect, then it's generally permissible.
| Intention | Ruling |
|---|---|
| Beautification Only | Could be considered impermissible. |
| Removing a Defect Causing Harm | Permissible; the goal is restoration, not alteration of Allah's creation for mere beauty. |
| Removing a Health Risk | Permissible; prioritizing health and well-being is important. |
Ultimately, it comes down to assessing why the individual wants to remove the birthmark.
