Using medicine to increase growth hormone and treat short stature
Question

                What is the ruling on using medicine to increase one’s height? Is that regarded as objecting to the decree of Allah?.
Praise be to Allah.
    There is nothing wrong with using medicine to increase growth 
    hormone for the one who is of weak build or noticeably short stature, 
    because that comes under the heading of medical treatment and remedies. It 
    has been proven that short stature is connected to a lack of growth hormone, 
    and this is not regarded as changing the creation of Allah; rather it is 
    treating a shortcoming and weakness so that the person may develop a regular 
    appearance like that of his peers. 

    On Wikipedia it says: Growth hormone helps in building the 
    human body (anabolism) by causing the bones and tissues to grow by means of 
    increased protein production. In addition to that, growth hormone also 
    contributes to breakdown of fats (lipolysis) and the formation of ketone 
    bodies. This hormone also increases the levels of sodium, potassium and 
    magnesium in the blood. 

    It also says: short stature is connected to a lack of growth 
    hormone. Short stature may respond to treatment with hGH (human growth 
    hormone) in the form of drugs. End quote. 

    Using this as a medical treatment depends on ascertaining 
    that it is free of harmful effects, because the Prophet (blessings and peace 
    of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor 
    reciprocating harm.”

    Narrated by Ahmad, 2865; Ibn Maajah, 2341; classed as saheeh 
    by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah. 

    Hence it is essential to consult a specialized doctor.
