Is doing facial exercises to obtain dimples considered changing the creation of Allah?
Assalamualaikum everyone! I’ve been doing some facial exercises lately: I don’t naturally have dimples but because of those exercises I’m getting dimples. Is this considered changing the creation of Allah?

Changing eye color by lessening the amount of melanin in eyes and not by surgery
My friend, who has naturally dark brown eyes, wants to change her eye color. She doesn't want to get surgery.

My friend, who has naturally dark brown eyes, wants to change her eye color. She doesn't want to get surgery. She's considering using eye drops that with regular use lessen the amount of melanin in eyes and permanently change their color. She has to keep using the drops for the color to remain. If she stops using the drops, the dark brown color returns.
**Question:** As women are lightening the melanin in their skin and hair and that's not considered wrong, if my friend does the same to her eyes, would this be wrong?

What does Islam exclusively say about human sacrifice?
**What does Islam exclusively say about human sacrifice? By exclusively, I mean excluding what is already said in Judaism and Christianity.** So, I guess anything newly added to the texts during or after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Is cosmetic surgery allowed for a Muslim women to please her husband?
I am a Muslim woman and realise that I have a duty to my husband to please him and do what I need to do to keep us together.

I am a Muslim woman and realise that I have a duty to my husband to please him and do what I need to do to keep us together. Lately however I feel the attraction between us has not been the way it used to be and I feel that he will start to look elsewhere.
I know the flaws I have that are aesthetic and I want to know if changing them cosmetically through surgery for the sake of keeping my husband interested is haram. I have thought about many other options such as make up, but he hates it when I wear it so I'd rather do something that doesn't require me to wear it. I am sure if I undergo the change he will be more visually pleased.

What is there to know about the awrah-ness of women's feet?
On my trip to Indonesia, I was surprised that it was normal for women to go around mosques with bare feet, even in front of non-mahram men.

On my trip to Indonesia, I was surprised that it was normal for women to go around mosques with bare feet, even in front of non-mahram men. I heard that Hanafi scholars don't consider feet part of the awrah, but Wikipedia says "99% of Indonesian Muslims mainly follow the Shafi'i school of Sunni jurisprudence". So now I'm confused...
**Question**: What is there to know about the awrah-ness of women's feet?
I'm seeking a succinct summary of which sects/schools have which opinions on the awrah-ness of women's feet.

Can males pluck their eyebrows?
The Hadith which refers to the one plucking eyebrows being cursed is to females so can males pluck them? (Mine have a few long hairs and it would be nicer to remove these longer ones to look tidy. Some are thicker hairs which stand out on close inspection).

If the language of the God-family is disagreeable with the understandings or dogma of Muslim belief, how can I understand the belief that it is possible for a non-human being to possess or inhabit a human being, but it is not possible or true that the Creator of both non and human beings cannot possess or inhabit one of or all of His creatures whenever and however He so wills. Does Islam mean Allah will not inhabit His human being and all of His human beings? How does Islam know the Will of Allah? Is it possible to understand Allah as a and The Heavenly Father, as in the Father of all things and beings?

Is human flesh halal for eating?
Inspired by: [this question](https://judaism.stackexchange.com/q/19071/1713) Of course, murdering someone is forbidden and mutilating a body is forbidden. But setting these issues aside, would human flesh be halal for eating?

Asslamo Alaikum, I am Dr. Ahmad. Artificial Intelligence for Medical Researcher.

Its a life saving work because we all know that breast cancer takes too many lives every year but being a muslim i also have to watch and perform do analysis on thousands of different images of women's body in order to train detecting models and we medical researchers also have to do other researches too which also includes this kinda activity in which we have to see these kind of things anyway. So am i sinning here or its fine. I also want to mention that I am Alhamdulliah happily married and I perform 5/5 daily prayers regularly. I need help from my fellow Muslims to help me regarding this..?
