Summary
Transplanting sideburns for men whose sideburns do not grow naturally, purely to improve their appearance, is prohibited. It is permitted only for treating an illness or removing a defect caused by disease, accident, burns or similar events that left the sideburns lost, damaged or deformed. The hair used must be taken from the person's own body. Cosmetic and medical practitioners are advised to accept only clients who meet these conditions, and it is forbidden for them to assist in transplants done purely for beautification.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mencipta jambang yang secara fitrah asalnya memang tidak tumbuh, kemudian menanam jambang hanya semata - mata untuk kesempurnaan penampilan imej bagi kaum lelaki adalah dilarang.
