Given that the procedure does not meet this definition, undergoing it would not exclude a person from the group of seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. However, if the procedure is proven to cause harm, it becomes impermissible under the general legal principle derived from the ḥadīth: 《لَا ضَرَرَ وَلَا ضِرَارَ》 “There is to be no harm and no reciprocating harm.” Ibn Mājah (2341), Aḥmad (2865); graded ḥasan. Shaikh al-Albānī graded Ṣaḥīḥ it Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl (896). Therefore, the legal ruling is conditional. Evidence of dermatological or other harm necessitates a prohibition, whereas verification of safety upholds its original permissibility based on the general principle of ibāḥah (permissibility). A second critical consideration is the exposure of the ʿawrah during the procedure. Without a legitimate religious necessity (ḍharūrah), such exposure is strictly prohibited (ḥarām). The Prophet ﷺ said: 《لَا يَنْظُرُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَلَا تَنْظُرُ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ》 “A man should not look at the ʿawrah of another man, nor should a woman look at the ʿawrah of another woman. Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (338). Shaikh ʿUthaimīn was asked the following question: "What is the ‘awrah of a woman with other women?" He replied: "A woman's ʿawrah (private parts that must be covered) in front of other women is what is between the navel and the knee. This is because this is the area that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, forbade looking at. In Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, from Abū Sa'īd al-Khudrī -may Allāh be pleased with him-, the Prophet ﷺ said: "A man should not look at a man's ʿawrah, nor should a woman look at a woman's ʿawrah." However, we must understand that looking is one thing and clothing is another. As for looking, the ruling is known from this ḥadīth: that it is not permissible to look at the ʿawrah. As for clothing, it is not permissible for a woman to wear clothing that only covers the 'awrah (what is between the navel and the knee). I do not think anyone permits a woman to go out among women with her chest, stomach above the navel, and shins uncovered. Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah -may Allah have mercy on him- said (as found) in Majmu' al-Fatāwā (22/146) while discussing the Prophet's saying: "ٍكَاسِيَاتٍ عَارِيَات" (women who are dressed yet naked): meaning she wears what does not cover her; she is dressed but in reality naked. Like one who wears a thin garment that shows her skin, or a tight garment that reveals the contours of her body, like her behind, forearm, and the like. A woman's garment is Only what covers her and does Not reveal her body or the shape of her limbs because it is thick and loose. End quote. Based on this, the benefit of the ḥadīth is that if a woman is working in her house, nursing her child, or similar situations, and her breast, part of her forearm, upper arm, or upper chest becomes visible, there is no harm in that. The meaning cannot be that she should wear in front of women clothing that only covers the ʿawrah. The reason for prohibiting short clothing is not merely imitation (of disbelievers); rather, the reason is fitnah (temptation/desire). This is why if she wore a garment that only disbelieving women wear, it would be forbidden even if it was covering. When it is said "imitating the disbelievers," it does not mean that we cannot use any of their products, for no one says that. People during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and after him, used to wear clothes made by disbelievers and use utensils they manufactured. Imitating the disbelievers refers to imitating their specific clothing, adornments, and distinctive customs.
