Q: I am a 16-year old student in the institute of Al-Azhar. My problem is that I have a very large nose and I fear that when I grow up, the nose will grow larger. Anyone who sees my nose considers it terrible.Secondly, I suffer from psychological problems because of my nose. Whenever I sit with someone and he looks at my big nose, he makes fun of me. It depresses me to sit with friends so I began to avoid sitting with them lest I should hear the sarcastic comments. I became an introvert as if an outcast.Thirdly, whenever I see someone with a small nose although he is big, I suffer severely. (Part No. 25; Page No. 61) Fourthly and most importantly, I sometimes fear of falling in a state of Kufr (disbelief). I sometimes say to myself why Allah specifically chose me to have such a big nose. But, I dismiss these thoughts from my mind and ask Allah's Forgiveness. Now, I think about having rhinoplasty. I am in dire need of this widespread surgery. My concern is that I fear I change the creation of Allah as mentioned in the Qur'an. I went to the hospital to arrange the procedures. I took this step due to the psychological problems I have; especially since I am an adolescent boy. I tried to be brief in describing my problem as I appreciate your valued time. I ask whether it is permissible to have this surgery or not.
