Question:
We received this question, Shaykh Salih. The questioner says: I am troubled by obsessive thoughts, truly, about death and that I will die soon. I consulted a psychiatrist, and he gave me some medication. These are, Shaykh Salih, of the types that cause dependence if one continues taking them. Is there any sin on me for that?

Answer:
This is a medical matter. Consult the doctors. If one doctor is unclear to you, consult another doctor until you are certain. Yes.
