Jurisprudential Analysis of the Primary and Secondary Rules of Types of Cosmetic Surgery According to the View of Islamic Schools and Its Investigation in the Legal Systems of Different Countries

Cosmetic surgery is one of the new social phenomena. For this reason, there is no trace of this matter in the earlier jurisprudential books. In recent years, both Shi'a and Sunni scholars of jurisprudence have investigated this issue. Most of Sunni jurists have considered this surgery forbidden and to prove their claim, they have cited evidence such as the forbiddence of altering God's creation and traditions prohibiting such surgery. In contrast, most of Imamiyyah jurists have not accepted the above-mentioned reasons and relying on reasons such as the unconditional verses and traditions praising beauty and beautification, the rule of self-dominance, and the principle of innocence, they have considered it permissible. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method and library sources. After examining the reasons of both groups, it was concluded that the reasons of forbiddence are not complete and the reasons of permission are correct.
