The question

Is it permissible to undergo a cosmetic rhinoplasty for a large nose if the reason for doing so is fear of people's opinions and to avoid criticism after a divorce and a failed marriage, or is it considered altering Allah's creation?

The answer

Cosmetic surgery is permissible to remove a birth defect. One must not obey a mother if she commands an act of disobedience. It is also advised to be patient and diligent in remembrance (dhikr) and supplication (du'a), especially the supplications for dispelling worries. If a person persists in abuse, they should be threatened with reporting them to the responsible authorities. One should not hesitate to marry due to the shape of their nose, as people's estimations vary.
