Is hypnosis for weight loss purposes permissible?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Could you please clarify whether hypnosis is permissible for weight loss purposes? There are CDs that one can use at home to help with controlling yourself from bingeing, eating sweet/junk foods and to eat healthy meals instead of going for the refined foods.   

 

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the techniques used in hypnosis do not consist of any elements which are impermissible in Shari’ah then hypnosis will be permissible.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
