The Ruling on a Sick Person Abandoning Treatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If a sick person abandons treatment, does he commit a sin?

Answer:
Seeking treatment is permissible, and the permissible is that in which there is no reward and no punishment. One who abandons it is not punished, and one who performs it is not rewarded; rather, it is neutral on both sides. So treatment is permissible: if you do it, it is permissible, and if you leave it, it is not obligatory.
