The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page. Please note that we do not issue fatwas, we only compile the opinions of respected scholars (even when a fatwa is not explicitly cited) to make their opinions accessible to English-speaking Muslims. If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Is whitening teeth permitted in Islam?

Salam alaikum. Does Islam permits to whiten our teeth?

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

The ruling is the same as that for cosmetic surgery. Please see: Cosmetic surgery is permissible in Islam (with conditions)

And God knows best.
Asking questions is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for the inconvenience.
