RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Does Islam frown on nose jobs? Chemical peels? How about breast implants?

One of the clerics with the answers is Sheik Mohammed al-Nujaimi, and Saudi women flock to him for guidance about going under the knife. The results may not see much light of day in a kingdom where women cover up from head to toe, yet cosmetic surgery is booming.

Religion covers every facet of life in Saudi Arabia, including plastic surgery. Al-Nujaimi draws his guidelines from the consensus that was reached three years ago when clergymen and plastic surgeons met in Riyadh to determine whether cosmetic procedures violate the Islamic tenet against tampering God's creation.

The verdict was that it's halal (sanctioned) to augment unusually small breasts

So is the breast augmentation performed by a blind surgeon with the patient fully clothed head-to-toe in a burka or do they stone her to death afterwards for being a whore?

Do you know how many explosives you could hide in a good breast enlargement job?

Let’s not give them ideas.

True story: I know a blonde in California who married a guy with a big nose. She wanted him to get a nose job before they had children, because she didn’t want her kids to look like that.

Hey, as long as the Demwits stand in the way of US energy independence, there will always be plenty of money in Saudi Arabia to for stuff like this.
