Injecting oneself with hormones for weight loss

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Would it be considered halal to inject yourself with hormones for weight loss for non medical purposes?

Bismillaah

A: What is the source of the hormones? If it contains anything haraam then abstain. Similarly, if there is a fear of it having a disastrous side effect then you should also refrain.
