Eye surgery

658

Q 3: A man's daughter was born with one of her eyes not fully opened. The doctors informed him that it is possible to correct the abnormality through surgery. There were two views on this:1- Some scholars said that this is permissible because it is a kind of treatment.2- Others said that it is not permissible because it involves altering Allah's creation.Would you kindly explain the ruling in detail? May Allah grant you success!

A: It is permissible to correct her eye with surgery (Part No. 25; Page No. 12) based on the general meaning of the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): O Allah's servants, use medical treatment, but do not use something unlawful. In addition, this operation implies a great benefit and relieves a great harm.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
