The objective of this study is to underscore the Islamic perspective on “camouflage” as a new technique in cosmetic surgery - an emerging issue in reconstructive surgery. It also highlights different jurisprudential rulings regarding conditions and regulations of permissible “camouflage” and concealing surgical scars in case of negative effects. For this purpose, I used extrapolatory and analytical approaches. Accordingly, I collected reliable literary material related to this technique in order to be discussed and included in every single item of the study. I also utilized comparative approach to explore and compare different opinions of scholars from the Four Schools of Islamic Jurisprudence on relevant issues. Among the main findings of the study is that “camouflage” in cosmetic surgery is permissible in Islamic Law when it is performed with intent to conceal or purify skin defects such as dermatological disorders. Therefore, it is allowed in necessary cases to treat, camouflage or conceal skin deformities, under specific jurisprudential regulations and conditions. However, “camouflage” is forbidden when used for aesthetic purposes. On this basis, surgical scars can be avoided and removed in case of harm as stipulate d by Islamic Law. Subsequently, the researcher recommends sensitizing people about the advantages and inconveniences of “camouflage” in cosmetic surgery according to the provisions of Sharia. She also advocates enacting laws to limit cosmetic surgery to specialized skincare centers, under competent medical supervision. Furthermore, she encourages more jurisprudential studies on emerging medical issues seeking to extend the scope of religious research and publications in this field.
