Is Breast Reduction Haram?

Question:

Asalaamu alaikum,

I have noticeably large breasts & get unwanted attention from men & women alike. This makes me very uncomfortable & embarrassed & they are hard to hide. I do not have any health issues because of them. Is reduction surgery haram?

Answer:

Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah,
Yes, it would be haram if there is no health issue compelling it. Wear ample clothing with the intention of modesty, give thanks to Allah for health and other blessings and ignore such men and women whose eyes no doubt will be questioned for contributing to suggest such a thought to you.
