Summary
Hair transplantation on the scalp is permissible. Islam does not prohibit treatment aimed at improving one's appearance from a defect, as long as it does not contradict or exceed the limits set by Islamic law. The conditions are that the person's own hair is used, the materials involved are pure and free of impurities, and no harmful effects result.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
