Performing Hemorrhoid Surgery and Exposing the Awrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he is suffering from hemorrhoids, and he is hesitant about undergoing the surgery due to the danger involved and the exposure of the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). He asks: Is he required to be patient and seek reward from Allah? Or is it obligatory for him to seek treatment and undergo this procedure?
Answer:
He should undergo the procedure and place his reliance on Allah. Exposing the awrah is permitted in this case; it is permissible to expose the awrah for the sake of treatment. There is nothing wrong with that, yes.
