Question

Are diet pills haram? even if you are overweight or obese?

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

If the ingredients of the diet pills are halaal, then only will it be permissible to take the diet pills.

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best

Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
