Fatwa CenterIncreasing one's height if he is not too short
Question
Assalamu alaikum.Based on fatwa 186419 , I know increase height using exercise and eating nutrition is permissible.The change is permanent because our bone will grow.My question is can we use this technique for any reasons?Including increase height for beauty especially for NORMAL HEIGHT person? Surely this will boost self confidence too and give us courage to do things like da’wah. Is that action regarded as not grateful as mention in verse “And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed My punishment is severe.'” [Quran 14: 7].Increase height surely give many benefits in term of beauty,confidence,strong body,etc.I am grateful with my height and I want to increase it because the benefit of become more taller..Thanks
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for you – Allaah willing – to increase your height with the means that you mentioned in the question. However, you may be exaggerating about the benefits of being tall, especially if you are not too short.
For more benefit, please refer to our previous Fatwa 186419.
Allaah Knows best.
