"Those concerned about religious injunctions against
hair transplants
need not worry. "
We understand that some patients are concerned about
the Shariah implications of transplanting hair. Since
your own hair is used in the single-follicle hair transplant,
it does not interfere with ablutions before prayer. The
following is a sampling of the opinions of some scholars
on the subject picked from the fatwa of the website
www.IslamOnline.net:
“Hair transplantation by means of natural hair is
considered permissible, while doing so with artificial hair
is considered impermissible. However, this should be restricted
to cases of necessity when a person suffers real psychological
or social problems."
Having said this, however, it is important
to state that Islam is not at all opposed to
treatments or medications in order to enhance Allah’s
creation without in any way altering or mutilating it. Hair
transplantation of natural hair in such a way that it becomes
part of one’s natural hair and grows on one’s
scalp and is sustained by it is permissible, for it is not
at all different from transplanting a kidney or eyes or
a heart. Just as these transplants are considered permissible,
to transplant natural hair that would grow and take roots
on one’s head is also considered permissible”
