Prophetic Medicine and Contemporary Medical Treatments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people recommend prophetic medicine and warn against certain contemporary medical treatments. We have seen that some patients have suffered harm as a result of this warning. What is your advice in this matter?
Answer:
Prophetic medicine that is established is true and beneficial. It does not prevent the use of permissible medical drugs; this is not prevented. You take this and that, for all of it is what Allah has made a cure, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam). He taught it to those He taught, . The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani). So whatever medicine is established and beneficial, there is no harm in taking it along with prophetic medicine; all of it is beneficial.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
