Hair Transplants

Question :

In America, when a person is afflicted with baldness, the doctor takes hair from the back of his head, and "plants" it in the affected area. Is this practice permitted?

Answer:

Yes, since this operation consists of returning Allah's A creation to what it was, to removing a defect, and not to beautify, or add to what Allâh Almighty created, then it does not fall under the category of changing the creation of Allâh. Rather it is a form of rectifying a deficiency and removing a defect.

The Prophet ﷺ related a story about three men, one of whom was bald. One of them wanted Allâh Almighty to return his hair to him; the angel rubbed him, and Allah Almighty gave him nice hair.
