Is Botox Halal?

Quick answer Scholars differ

Scholars differ. Botox and fillers for a medical reason (such as migraines or correcting a defect) are widely allowed. For purely cosmetic beautification, many scholars discourage or forbid it as changing God's creation, while others allow temporary, non-harmful treatments, especially to restore a normal appearance.

Medical vs cosmetic

Treating illness, pain or deformity is permitted. The debate is about changing a normal appearance purely for beauty.

The ingredients

Some fillers and products use animal-derived ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (now usually made by fermentation) — ask your clinic.
