Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, there are some narcotic medicines, so what is the ruling on using them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to use narcotics, intoxicants, or inebriants. It is not permissible to use them as medicine. They only permitted anesthesia. They permitted anesthesia because it relieves the patient during surgery, so they permitted it for this reason only. Anesthesia is not a medicine; it is used so that the patient does not feel the surgery being performed on him.
