Many contemporary Islamic scholars consider autologous hair transplantation (using your own hair follicles) permissible (halal) because it is restorative, not deceptive, and uses one’s own tissue. Opinions can vary by school and context.
Key Points in Fiqh Discussions
- Restoration vs deception: Treating a medical/psychological harm is distinct from deceit.
- Own hair: Using your own follicles differs from using others’ hair (which is generally not allowed).
- Medical need: If there is harm (e.g., scarring alopecia), permissibility is often broadened.
Note: Always consult a qualified local scholar for guidance tailored to your circumstances.
