Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says that he has an illness, may Allah protect us and you from it, that requires a surgical operation. He says it requires exposing the 'awrah. His question is: Is he advised to undergo this operation, or is it better for him to cover his 'awrah and be patient with this illness?

Answer:
He should be treated, even if this requires exposing the 'awrah, because treatment is required.
