지금까지 중동지역을 중심으로 한 이슬람 문화권에 널리 확산되고 있는 미용성형의 양상과 이에 대한 이슬람법적인 판단을 종교윤리적 관점과 실제 파트와의 예를 들어 살펴보았다. 엄격한 이슬람법을 가진 나라의 귀족들 같은 매우 보수적인 무슬림 환자들을 다수 직접 수술한 경험이 있는 미용성형 전문의는 “그들의 바람,욕구와 요구 조건은 비무슬림들과 어떤 방식으로도 다르지 않았다. 환자가 자진해서, 정당하게, 그리고 합법적으로 성형수술을 요구하는 한 의사는자신의 능력의 최선으로 이 요구를 충족 할 의무가 있다. 물론 의사는 일부문화적 규제에 대해 알고 있어야 한다”고 말한다(Atiyeh 외 2008, 8). 이 연구의 또 다른 목적은, 서론에서 언급한 바와 같이, 13세기 이전아라비아반도라는 시대적ㆍ공간적 상황을 기초로 확립된 이슬람교와 이를 기반으로 형성된 이슬람법이 21세기의 환경에서 무슬림 다중에게 어떻게 현실적으로 적용되고 있는가에 대한 하나의 이해를 갖고자 함이었다. 이 연구가 오늘날의 무슬림들이 어떠한 방식으로 이슬람적 가치를 일상의 삶 속에서 구현하고 있는가에 대한 이해를 심화하는 데 일말의 도움이 되기를 기대한다.


The purpose of this research is to discuss the opinions about thewidespread cosmetic surgeries in the Islamic world, from theperspectives of the Islamic law Sharia. Normally surgeries as suchundoubtedly have negative factors for operating on one’s body. Thisresearch concentrated on unveiling the position from not only theSharia but also the Koran and the Hadith. There are a handful of nations such as Lebanon, Egypt, andMorocco that are widely known for its cosmetic surgeries, wheremany Arabic citizens visit. On the other hand, Iran, one of the Islamicnations with highly strict impression, is having great increase of thepopulation in cosmetic surgeries, that it is called by the many as ‘thecapital of nose job’. Unbelievably, there is no need to havepermission from neither the government nor the Islamic laws to havecosmetic surgeries in Iran. However that does not neglect the factthat Islamic laws do matter. On the contrary, not only secularistreligious leaders but also religious men and women have surgeries sonormally, it is debated on a wider scale. Even though the estimatedprice of this surgery is nearly five or six times as much as Iran’saverage salary, more than 20 thousand Iranian has nose jobs a year,according to the local news report. Since the bloom in the cosmeticindustry, doctors without degrees have increased, and triggered socialissues. According to the Arya Strategic Studies Centre in Tehran,they announced a report that there are only 157 fully licenseddoctors able to operate plastic surgery, whereas almost 7000peopletake these surgeries. In case of Jordan, the percentage of woman greatly surpass man,but increasing. (In 2008 the numbers doubled from that of 2003). The chairman of Jordanian Society of Plastic Surgeons stated that10~15%of the customers are men, whose purpose is mainly toupgrade their impressions in corporate interviews. Men usually haveBotox, nose job, and fat absorption, whereas women ordinarily haveBotox(in needles), fat absorption, nose job, and breast implants. As for the women in Middle East, the genuine reason why theytake these surgeries is because their culture forbids them to expressbeauty by wearing Hijabs, and the problems of their identity andmarriage. The widely known Fatwa about the procedures and rules forcosmetic surgery is whether people have permits. If a person takessurgery with only the purpose of beauty, it is strictly forbidden,since their actions change the creation of Allah. In case ofrejuvenation of the body occurred by physical harm, it is excludedfrom permit.
