Botox is haram, says Selangor Mufti
MUSLIMS have been advised not to undergo Botox treatments as it is considered haram, reported Berita Harian.
Selangor Mufti Datuk Seri Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahad said the National Fatwa Council had decided to list the beauty treatment as haram as it had more adverse effects than good.
He said those providing Botox treatments should also stop offering such services.
“People like to do things that they shouldn’t. Do not go against religion for the sake of vanity. There are other ways and products that can make us look beautiful and we need not go against the fatwa,” he said.
