| Summary: | Medical treatment by Muslim doctors will sometimes be influenced by Islamic law
and ethics rather than solely medical consideration. Muslim patient’s sometimes
need reassurance that modern medicine that offered to them is also acceptable by
Islamic law. Orthognathic deformities are condition which associated with
discrepancies of the jaw. These deformities resulted from different rates of growth of
the maxilla, the mandible or both. Performing cosmetic surgery seems to change the
creation of Allah and the original law of changing Allah’s creation is prohibited. In
assessing the orthognathic surgery law for patients with this dentofacial defect, the
researcher found that the main issues that need to be investigated are the difficulties
existed (Masyaqqah) and the level of patient harm in addition to the intention or
purpose of performing orthognathic surgery. However, according to the principles of
the Islamic jurisprudence, orthognathic surgery is permitted based on the principles
such as ad-darar yuzal, al-musyaqqah tajlibu al-taisir, al-darurat tuqaddiru
biqadaruha, irtikab akhaf al-dhararain, al-darurat tubihu mahzurat and al-umur
bimaqasidiha. Orthognathic surgery can be done because the purpose is to treat
defects and restore function. This objective is very consistent with the fiqh rules that
stated, every harm and distress should be eliminated. |
