salaam alaikum my friend who is severely obese and diabetic has been told by the doctor that after trying to loose weight with medication and that failing and after all exercises being tried the only option to avoid a severe fatal risk, they should have their stomach stapled, as subhanaAllah it is too late to try other precautions, could you tell me if this is permissible in islam?



Assalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti
