Malaysia is an Islamic country. The majority of people in Malaysia are Malays and Muslims. Recently, social problems such as transgender people have become a concern of society and the country. This is because statistics show that the number of transgender people in the country increases from year to year. It was also a concern when many Malay Muslim nations were slipping into transsexuality. At the same time, Islam is a religion that forbids the similarity of the opposite sex. In addition, several studies found that transgender problems will lead the group to other social problems, such as the practice of reverse sex. This article was written to identify the factors of transgender prohibition based on Islamic law and identify whether gender reassignment through gender reassignment surgery or by using hormone treatment will have a detrimental effect on health. In order to achieve both of these objectives, the documentation method is carried out. A documentation study was conducted to obtain data related to transgender in Malaysia. The data collected used content analysis to explain. This study found that there are three main factors of transgender prohibition based on Islamic law. First, the transformation of God’s creation. Second, the similarity of different sexes (tasyabbuh) and third harm. Meanwhile, gender reassignment by transgender people through gender reassignment surgery or using hormone treatment will have a detrimental effect on health.
